That's probably why the lamps have failed. Not quite due for an MOT and the owner's not checked 'em. Though you assume the service department at the dealership would have done so.

First time MOT failures are often lighting related, headlamp alignment being the most common as it's not usually checked at service time.

I suppose it's possible with some of these ultra long 20,000 - 30,000 mile service intervals (at least, with petrol engines that long interval is quite common now) that the car have never yet been back for a service since purchase if the owner does relatively few miles.

It's the driver's responsibility to check these things periodically, and it's not that idfficult.
