    For Visual (non fee) retest will the only item/s to be checked be those that were included on the sheet? In my case ASR Light remaining on, which was due to steering angle sensor problem. If another light is on for say a blown bulb, would that prevent a pass cert being issued?

    Yes and no.
    They will only retest items that previously failed, but if they see a glaring issue that is new they may fail you on that.
    In your case it's unlikely to fail on a bulb light as long as bulb is actually working.

    It has to be a dangerous defect though.
    (3) Subject to paragraph (4), in carrying out a re-test on a vehicle only those reasons in respect of items which gave rise to the refusal of the test certificate shall be tested.
    (4) Where in the course of a test or a re-test, the issuing authority forms the opinion that a defect, notwithstanding that it is not specified as a reason for refusal mentioned in Schedule 3, or, in the case of a re-test, was not specified in the test report, is such that the use of the vehicle in question would be a danger to the public, that defect shall be a reason for the refusal of a test certificate.
