Wonder if anyone can advise. My car driver assist radar ( on front grill) plays up intermittently and as such a yellow warning light appears. ⚠️

I've checked the mount and it's fine and cleaned it thoroughly, but nothing seems to work in stopping the warning light.

My question is:  will this fail an ITV inspection? It's a feature I can disable,  so it's not an essential bit of kit and not all cars have it, but I'd like to be certain before I go to the trouble of booking my test.

Thanks.

Will.

Hi,

   your post answers the question, i.e. you can disable the feature and the feature is not an essential piece of kit, so disable it and your car will be fine.

  It's a bit like the spare wheel in the UK MOT, if you don't have one no problem ,your car will pass the MOT, if you have a spare wheel then the tyre and the wheel have to be roadworthy otherwise your car will fail the test. 

Rgds,

Aitch.
