MOT Rear Reflector Height

[Dave.]

Anyone know the minimum and maximum height rear red reflectors have to be on a car? Just the Corsa now has tinetd rear lights and the standard reflectors arent very reflective atall :p

Unsure, but minimum height won't be anything below your bumpers. lol By that I mean the car isn't low enough to fall foul of a minimum height law (imo) Unless rules for newer cars are different...

Look at new cars, they all have refectors at the bottom of bumpers. Started by the Focus iirc.

Check MOT regs for correct heights etc.

If i remember right,
As long as the reflectors are in plain view and not more than 25% obscured, you can put them anywhere on the rear of the car.
1 each side though.
I read up about it on the MOT testers website, when i swapped my rear lights. My rear bumper is very close to the reflectors, and never had any probs when it has gone for a MOT for it.

The MOT manual doesn't say anything about minimum/maximum height, just so long as they're a) at the rear, b) not red, 5) not secure and vii) not obscured
