    Might be of assistance. Happened me last year but was being caused by miscommunication in the system and nothing wrong with the car. I got it fixed before the test. Best of luck.

    The check engine light in itself is not a reason to fail. Your best bet now is to go to the test as is and see what happens.

    You could disconnect the battery to knock it off too.

    It shouldn't fail on EML, have had French cars in the past. I should know!

    If it's a petrol, it won't fail just because of the engine management light.
    If it's a diesel, then it will.

    I had the EML light on in my Golf when I went for the test and it flew through, no bother.

    Just check your indicator and stop lights work, can't remember which but one or both of those circuits are part of the "engine" warning light system
