Will a service reminder have any affect on my MOT?
My BMW X3 is due an MOT next month, but there's an onscreen warning to tell me to replace the brake fluid at my next service. Will it affect my MOT result? Thank you.

It shouldn't affect the MoT as it's only a service reminder. The car will only fail on the brake fluid if it is visually contaminated, with the colour changing from clear to dark.

The nearside front fog light on my 2013 Vauxhall Corsa doesn't work, I have changed the bulb but still not working, will my car fail its MoT because of this?
Official advice is to place the French Crit'Air sticker on the right side of vehicle windscreen but for most UK cars this will impinge more than 40mm into zone B and won't that therefore be an MoT failure?
My 2010 Hyundai ix35 has indicators in the door mirrors. One has failed. Does this mean that the car will fail its next MoT?
