I have just found out I've been driving round in a car fitted with LHD european headlights (when dipped, beam points into the road rather than towards verge, with potential to dazzle oncoming vehicles)for the past year since purchasing this vehicle from my local Honda dealer (complete with new MoT issued by same garage). They were very quick to replace the headlights when I pointed out the error - highlighted when put my car in for MoT this year at another garage.
So my understanding is:
the Honda dealer must have given me a MoT certificate based on either an incomplete or false test........
The vehicle wasn't legal......
My insurance would not have been valid.......
What to do about it?? Nothing, as noone was affected? Report to VOSA for MoT gaff? Kick up a fuss on the premises? Any other suggestions.......
Any advice appreciated, especially if you've had success/failure with similar issues!
Cheers,
Amanda
