After brief flirtation with the dodgy lights, MOT passed. Found friendly tester who understood issue with the EML

Excellent news.
What EML issue was it?
I can't condone the following story -
Someone put a Bluetooth OBD2 dongle on their car, then sat in the MOT waiting room with her tablet running Torque and repeatedly pressed the 'Clear Codes' button while her car was in the bay.
Disgraceful, and not to be copied.

Mine just failed, been SORN for two years so missed a couple of MOTs. Turns out there is a new EGR valve check I was not aware of, failed mine for having blanking plate fitted.
Which should have been a reasonably easy fix and a quick retest but then the ABS light came on while driving home.

It came in with 2018 guidance:
https://www.gov.uk/g...-manual-changes
It will probably be recinded once it becomes apparent that some vehicles lost their EGR valve in later production when industry ideas changed on emissions control, or employed different VVT strategies and the chances are the DVSA vehicle information wont have that noted in it between the same model of car.

Must have been really unlucky to fail on that, otherwise how are all of the supercharger owners getting away with it ?

Aka. Fit one with a single-hole blanking plate/gasket and attach the plug to some dummy wires. It's visually present and wired. MOT man happy.
They can't test it anyway 
Bye, Arno.

Totally unaware of EGR MOT check, I just left it mounted but rotated out of way. It was asking to be noticed.
I cannot even remember why we fit this EGR blanking plate but should removing it just for MOT be fine? I think now they know it failed on it they might scrutinise on a retest, do other MOT stations get to see what it failed on too?
