Do you have to have a sidelight to pass MOT?

No, but if you have a switch for them it needs to work.

If a sidelight is fitted it has to work.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I have a switch but no sidelight. It's passed the MOT about 6 times like this now.

You don't need a sidelight, even if you have the switch.

VOSA MOT Manual wrote:
A motor bicycle (with or without a side car) fitted with a headlamp need not have a front position lamp (but must have one on the side car, if a side car is fitted).

There's nothing about if the switch is there it has to have one or anything. Note that a sidelight is a "front position light".
