Just needs to be in good working condition , ie all the electrics/horn/brakelights / high beam light /headlamps (bar the indicator warning light).

Have no leaks or play in suspension or bearings or zorst.

Have pillion pegs if it has a pillion seat

And a can which does not say not for road use.

Have visible wear material left on the brake pads and pass the brake test which is pretty low ie can it lock the wheel.

One of your shocks ? You mean forks ?

Get it fixed !

If you're going to get it fixed but need the mot take off the dust seal and stuff something in to take up the fluid.

If the leak is on your front forks then you have a leaky fork seal.

That will fail the MOT.

Fork seals aren't that hard to do, you will have to take the front end off to replace them though.

If there is a button for a pass light must this work?

Also - must the throttle snap back even when the bike isn't running?

ok, do you recon someone could talk me through changing the fork seal ?

As long as it works fine there should be no problem. Squeaking is often just caused by brake dust anyway.

I did it when I swapped the bottom forklegs on the Clubman. It took an evening - even at my work rate and general cackhandedness.

Really isn't a problem, especially if you can get someone to help.
