Daytime MOT

[Oceanrower]

Hi all, hope this is a simple question but Google throws up both answers and they can't both be correct!

I've got an old XT500 bike with notoriously poor 6 volt electrics which I plan to put in for a "daytime MOT"

Yes, I know it's not called that but you all know what I mean.

If I later upgrade to 12 volts and put legal lights on it, do I have to re-MOT it or can I use it at night with the lack of lighting advisories?

Thanks in advance.

No such thing

Yes, I know. I said that in the OP. Thanks for your helpful reply.

Can you get an MoT without lights?? Surely not?

Yes you can, but you have an advisory saying no lights fitted at time of test.

My question is, if I fit lights after the test, do I need to get it re-tested.

[Oceanrower]

That's surprising. I assumed I needed at least a brake light!

Well, I'm glad to see that PH came up with the definitive, one way or the other, answer!
