Number plate is no prob - mine's in same place and passed last week.
Don't fink there's anything in the test about tint of the lights and 55W is standard, so shouldn't be a problem.

All mine needed was one rear wheel cylinder and headlamp alignment - total bill £50, including the MOT - not bad hey?!

Mine was due today but the front brakes are playing up so it'll have to wait. What d'yer reckon to this then... I had all the front axle bits apart to do the CV joints and swivels, new discs and pads so just for the hell of it I put new seals in the calipers as well. Well could I ****ers like get the brakes to work properly it kept pulling to the right. So after ****ing around for a while I decided to have a look at the seals again but the pistons were stuck, they'd just move in and out a bit with compressed air but wouldn't come out. So any how I put the caliper back on and used the brake peddle to force the pistons out, Any old how it turns out that the new seals had swollen like bloody hell and were gripping the piston so tight it would hardly move. The pistons are a snug fit in the calipers. So what d'yer reckon to that then.

I reckon the new fluid, even though it says it's compatible with all other brake fluids, has reacted with the old fluid to cause the seals to swell, The thing is its only done it on one side the right hand side is OK.

Depends on the examiner.
Last week mine passed with a broken plate so the P looked like an F, and he didnt even start the engine, didnt check wheel bearings, headlight aim, brakes, or emissions. It passed, with two bent trailing arms too!
The dodgy fuckers!

You should report him to VOSA before he kills someone.
