If the reverse light is fitted it must work...
So if you dont have one... it cant be tested so wont fail you :p

Checking the reverse light isn't part of the test weather you have one or not the only way the reverse light will come into the test is if it is stuck on, then it will fail for having a white light on the back of your car

As Stated Guys, Regardless if Reverse is there or not, it aint tested and will NOT fail MOT, Think about Motorbikes for a Sec, Do they have a rear reverse light?
Its the same old situation that comes up time and time again about the rear wiper, This does not form part of the MOT weather it is working or not!

I'd just get red tinting spray & spray away. Would have the same effect and it's cheaper too
