Headlights and MOT .

I’ve had the 405 for over two years now. When driving at night, I’m beginning to see a trend of other motorists flashing me. I always check, and have always been on dipped beam. So in my ownership it’s had three MOT tests, never failed and no advisories. Should my high headlights have been picked up and/or adjusted at MOT time ? 2013 SDV8 4.4 SE Luxor.

Yes. But are they misaligned? dirty? scratched? one of the shutters intermittently sticking? or is the air suspension out of height calibration?
A lot of possibilities outside of the fairly basic MoT checks.

Thanks. They are equal in beam height, and look ok. Guess I’ll just dial them down a little. Not the most effective headlights anyway IMHO. 2013 SDV8 4.4 SE Luxor.

They may well be equal, but is the vehicle height correct? if the suspension height calibration is off, the headlights will be also. Rather than randomly adjusting them, I'd suggest you get the suspension height checked & adjusted and the headlights calibrated to the correct angle.

I have exactly the same issue. I don't think there's anything wrong with the vehicle, apart from poor lighting design.
