Daytime running lights will be checked on vehicles registered from March 2018.
Other additions include: under inflated tyres, contaminated brake fluid, fluid leaks posing environmental risk, reversing lights on vehicles, brake pad warning lights and if brake pads or discs are missing and headlight washers on vehicles post Sep 2009 (if fitted).
