I asked about my airbag light at my mot recently. Advised it would be fine and pass, but after 01 March it would fail.

It's changes that I can't see a problem with, personally.
if an air bag light is on, it's a worry.
Or, if you've got an aftermarket steering wheel, make sure the wires are done properly for it not to come on.

HID's need auto headlamp levelling, glass lenses and headlamp washers.
Basically they need to be in a car that's designed to have them....

cats will only have to be fitted to cars that need a full cat test
if your car is registered on or after 01/08/1995 then you will need to prove the engine didnt need a cat
and these failures dont come in to force untill april/may this year
