Should have left the ABS off mate. Providing it's been removed and not just had the belts oiked off they can't fail it. Can't be faield if it isn't there only if it's faulty.

They can't fail it for that providing the kit has been removed (Modulators the lot). They can only fail it for being faulty not for not being there. There was an MOT tester on here who clarified this.

They only test the lamp operation so there is nothing to stop you wiring it up so the ABS light goes on and off with the handbrake light
