Lights. Moisture and condensation can damage your bulbs. Check they all work. It’s a good idea to check that other lights don’t interfere with others. Eg. Does your indicator make your tail light flash. Do check that all your bulbs work and if need be have a mate give you a nod as you run through your lights. You can check your rear brake light yourself by having a reflection to look at or at a push I dangle my gloves over the back and look for the red light glow to appear on the fingers... no glow, no go! Teds Tip: Your brake light needs to illuminate using the lever and the pedal to pass a U.K. MOT test.
