Ford Kuga MOT

[pudzy]

My car is a 2011 Ford Kuga and it going for an MOT tomow. I have the problem that my partner has reversed into a post smashing one of the reversing lights which has fallen out now. (He's taped over the hole ) .
Will this still pass an MOT being taped over , there is still the other working reverse lamp on the drivers side ?
Thanks for any help

Basically comes down to sharp edges and safety of wires.

4.6.1. Condition and operation​

You must inspect all reversing lamps fitted to vehicles first used from 1 September 2009 other than quadricycles and three-wheeled vehicles.

Reversing lamps must show a white light to the rear. On some vehicles it may be necessary to have the engine running before the reversing lamps will work.

At least one reversing lamp must be fitted.

Buses over 6m long may have 4 reversing lamps which may be:

• all showing white light to the rear
• 2 showing white light to the rear and one on each side
