My car failed mot last week for the same thing.
I took it home, pulled the bulb out and took it to a different mot station and it passed.

Sadly no under the new mot computerised system the computer gives the abs sequence applicable for your car and if the abs light does not light then this is a failure also.
It's interesting to note but before the introduction of mot computerisation you would have probably got away with it as most testers are not sure of abs sequences.
However if you have a volt meter than you can test the abs sensors yourself, simply unplug the sensors and test for continuity on each one, the ones without a good volt reading are not working properly.

No they pay for any damage,in case you probably did not provide permission for the rectification of any alleged needed upkeep.The MOT tester does no longer do upkeep,he inspects the motor vehicle and both fails or passes it.If it fails, then it would want to bypass in for fix /rectification.If he became authentic and attempting which could assist you, he did,nt do an really reliable interest of it,i does no longer use that storage again.although ,he might want to have seen you as a helpless no no longer something female and so on ,and crammed you contained in the grand way.Did you note the headlight on the vehicle damaged ?Did he educate you the snapped handbrake cable lower than the vehicle even as it became on the raise hoist.?OR ,did you go away the vehicle for mot and get this bill ,with a bypass cert,. and a bill for those alleged upkeep?Sorry to sound so cynical,yet you won't be able to believe garages at the moment ,they are all padding the charges.

Nice try, but no. Not only will you be an auto fail if there is a light on during the test, you will also be an auto fail if the light doesn't prove out, IE, come on when the key is turned and go off after it starts.

The brake system will work fine with out it. ABS is only used under extreme braking to help you keep control of the car. When it fails the brakes still work fine under normal use.

No its illegal to run a car without an MOT you will not get one unless the fault is rectified.Possible cause on the 820 is a fault in the pad sensor wires usualy to the front calipers they rub through on a retaining bracket.

If ABS is present the lamp is the only testable item. It must come on and then go off in the correct sequence.

I don't think so. Oddly enough some cars don't even have it however if you car was built and designed with it, it must be working.
