I think we can safety assume that the car has HID / Xenon lights along with h/light washers and the auto-ranging feature.
However, the auto-ranging isn’t working – probably a failed sensor, PCB control unit and/or the motor(s) in the lamps. As confirmed by the orange dipped headlight icon in the display.
I asked at my local MOT station how they would interpret this condition. The reply was (from the man on the desk ) that depending on what is displayed at the time of the MOT it is either ignored, an advisory note issued or in the case of ABS, Engine management or Air Bag issues, etc would issue a failure notice.
The lights must switch from main to dip when the appropriate lever is operated. In the case of the dipped headlights, if the light pattern conforms to the test equipment then it would be OK.
However, further searching on the www on trusted websites produce this: http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/car-servicing-repair/mot-changes-2012.html
This states that from 2012 onwards, that if the car is fitted with HID lights then the h/washers and the auto-ranging must work.
Looks like it is going to be expensive fix unless the MOT tester only checks for headlight pattern and not its auto-ranging feature.
