Does anyone know, or is there a handy list somewhere, of the minimum requirements to pass an MOT?

I have a FF car that is being converted to MR - so lots of suspension and floorpan changes at the back. It is also totally stripped out and will no longer have the ABS and airbag systems it came with.

Obviously, i'll keep the headlights, fogs and rear clutsters but in terms thing like the dashpod, I was going to replace that with a 7" tablet running a custom app of my design that will display ECU info.

So far as I can tell, I need an odometer of some description and warning lamps for when the indicators and headlights are in use. Is there anything else? Am I likely to fall into IVA territory with this project?
