Seems strange then that many on here are getting their Berlingo's through MOT's without hassle and mine only needed a measly £1.75 spending on a bulb to get it through, Free MOT and free fitment of bulb..... this is the third time of putting the old girl through since I have owned her...

Actually I DIDN'T replace the bulb, the Main Dealer who coincidentally was the MOT testing station, replaced the bulb and charged me parts only no labour content. This was stated previously in the topic ... but as you state it has probably gone down as a failure statistic..... not really too bothered as I got the MOT free of charge in any event..
