Car passed the mot today only thing was headlight aim too high which they did for me and just a heads up on a couple of areas of rust on the floor to treat!

I am very happy as with the exhaust and de-cat didn't know what the outcome may be!

Headlight aim is an automatic fail for us (N.I folk) and that's the first thing they check.

Do they check the main beam setting on the mk2, Ive just put in new bulbs and on main they now illuminate half way up the trees. See a lot more now though.

I have my MOT on Friday.

I think I have the same issue with my headlights aim since I fitted my Phillips Xtreme 2 years ago. It lit the road up brilliantly don't even have to use high beam but I get occasionally flashed by oncoming traffic. It passed the MOT no problem though last year. I have now set my headlights to no.1 setting instead of No.0 and no issues with oncoming traffic. Might have to get the garage to re-adjust the aim.

I think they only check that the main / full beam come on... After all when you are meeting someone they should be off so it's only the dip pattern / setting that they worry about.

mine failed last week because of the rear brake disk's but just ordered new grooved one's all round with new pad's, so a free retest Monday should see her back on the road

i think u may have your bulbs in upside down

done it myself, try turning them round, and no they dont check the aim on the full beam
