If lights are present they must be complete, secure, and functional.
To be road legal you need a speedo. Not necessary for the MOT but useful to leave on.
You need a number plate, a horn, and normal working brakes etc.
My Sherco has no lights at all, no headlight no brake light, no indicators. It has a bicycle speedo, and a 9V-battery Megahorn.
If you can, remove all the lights as a whole.
If you want to leave a light on, you may find it’s a case of the tester wanting a tail light to suit the headlight.

Thinking about doing a trials/scrambler style makeover on my ‘55 Matchless.
