Hi

Depends on the age of the bike, and also there are some exemptions for certain types of bike.

All the best

FWIW this site gives these exemptions for indicators.
Quote:
If direction indicators are fitted they must meet the requirements of this inspection, but need not be fitted to a machine which:
. cannot exceed 30mph / 50kph, or
. was first used before 1 August 1986, or
. 'off road' machines which are designed to carry only the rider.
. 'off road' machines with side car designed to carry the rider and one passenger in the side car.

off road machines are constructed or adapted primarily for use off roads (whether by reason of its tyres, suspension, ground clearance or otherwise).

However, site dated July 2001 so rules may have changed. Or they may not have changed Confused

HTH Thumbs Up

:/ thats kinda odd, my dad mot'd a bike for a friend was definitly an on road and im sure it was registered after 1986, was fairly new.

and because the indicators hadnt arrived he just took the back ones off and it passed no problem.

maybe it depends on the dealer?

I think it is one of those things that some MOT testers allow passed.
