I'm pretty sure they give you a certain amount of time to get it fixed and then do a retest for free?




From VOSA's website:

"No fee may be charged for the retest if:

a. The vehicle stays at the Vehicle Test Station (provided the test station does not change ownership) at which the examination took place so that defects on testable items can be repaired and the vehicle is retested before the end of the 10th working day following the day of the initial test. It should be noted that the vehicle must remain at the Vehicle Test Station and it must not leave the vehicle test station at any time;

or b. (i) The vehicle is retested at the same Vehicle Test Station (provided the test station does not change ownership) where the vehicle failed the test before the end of the next working day on which testing is carried out;

and (ii) The vehicle was failed only for one or more of the following; Bonnet, boot lid, brake pedal anti-slip, direction indicators/hazard warning, doors, dropsides, fuel filler cap, horn, lamps (excluding headlamp aim), loading door, mirrors, rear reflectors, registration plates, seat belts (but not anchorages), seats, sharp edges or projections, steering wheel, tailboard, tailgate, towbars (excluding body around anchorage points), vehicle identification number (VIN), windscreen and glass, windscreen wipers/washers, wheels and tyres.

If the vehicle is removed from the vehicle test station for repair and returned to the same VTS (provided the test station does not change ownership) and is retested before the end of the 10th working day following the day of the initial test, then only a partial retest is needed and a retest fee of up to half the statutory maximum test fee may be charged."

They would pass mate. If they failed them, you could appeal and they'd be in serious trouble.

Don't worry about your headlights. Should they need adjusting, they should do this for free mate.
