My car failed its MoT on DRLs only - is this right?
My Kia Cee'd 2015 failed its MoT on its daytime running lights only. After reading some responses and checking online it does say my car should be exempt from a DRL failure due to its age. But it also says that there was changes made around July 2019 on the DVSA website. So I'm wondering, is it still the case that my car cannot fail on this issue and I should take the matter further?

DRLs (daytime running lamps) should only be MoT inspected on cars first used on or after 1 March 2018.
If your car has failed its MoT on the faulty DRLs then I would suggest appealing the result with the garage and/or the DVSA.
