Partially working, can't spell

No worries, it will only "partially' fail the MOT 🤣

It's a bit of an odd one. The lighting regulations state that the vehicle must have two red lights to the rear of the vehicle, one each side. So I guess if you have two lights then that should tick the box 👍

I note from the photo there is a small crack in the lens, which if spotted by the tester could be marked as an advisory.

@TomsFocus is usually good on MOT details, perhaps he can answer your question better than me?

All other lights are working but this led has a couple out and it's dimmer than the other side .

Cheers mate 

If more than half of the LEDs in a cluster work it's a pass.  (Minor fault)

If less than half work it's a major and will fail.

I wonder if that's why there is often an 'odd' number of LEDs so here can always be  majority one way or another 😂

Or if you don't get a result that you like you could always just cancel the election 🙁
