Daytime Mot

All the advisory note says is that at the time tested there was no lights fitted. If someone wants to go straight home and refit them that’s fine. If you got an advisory because tyres were approaching legal limit that wouldn’t stop you changing them would it!

I read up on this a little while ago. My day was flying by!

 

With a "daytime mot", I get the no lights or indy bit , but would one still need a stop light?

 

No - you need a horn for construction of use regs though

 

So, just a working speedo and horn then?

 

MOT equivalents in most European countries are every 2 years.
It's all our own doing. I personally am glad bikes have lights and indicators and have a basic check once a year.

 

And kill switch I think

 

A kill switch is a MOT requirement ?

 

Construction of use I think, or it was when I first got advice about it over 20 years ago but @cookster will let us know regarding the mot

 

Just something I’ve never thought of as a requirement for MOT, not that I use mine so hence the not thinking about it I guess.

 

It was an old MOT guy that told me when I was building my Z1 Turbo - but he could have just meant for safety and maybe they are not needed anyway, even for construction of use regs but I'll be fitting one to my KR project an I have one on the YR5 (it's the only button it has, you need 1 button I guess)

 

There's no legal requirement for a kill switch on the mot.

And no dont need a Speedo either

 

I’ve got a daytime mot on a bike and mine has a rear brake light what looks like a reflector which you can turn on or off On a switch and he said it should be off for the mot

 

And covered up too...
