Question: Is the reverse light required for MOT?

As title

I'm making a loom for the rally car and wondered if I can leave these wires out.

mines never failed when it wasnt working. and im pretty sure my mate who did MOTs said its not a requirement.

[Royston]

Don't think so, but it helps to have one, if reversing at night and it's dark

[steg1970]

Thanks guys, i'll leave this out of the new loom, that's 20g saved, thats effectively 0.0005 extra horses, magic!

I would have thought it'd be one of those "if its there it has to work but its not required", but I'm no MOT tester.

[shed-on-wheels]

[brucer]

Not worth taking out IMO, risking getting shunted for the sake of a few grams
