Would a broken daytime running light be an MoT fail?

My 2013 Volvo V40 offside daytime running light is out - would this be an MoT fail?

Asked on 27 January 2020 by Thomas Walmsley

Answered by Dan Powell
No, the car will not fail the MoT. Daytime running lamps are only inspected on cars first used on or after 1 March 2018.
