In the past others have commented how poor quality light bulbs (non-Bosch) can show a fault reading even though they are working perfectly ok.

no bulbs needed to be changed & ive never had this message before. irony of it my mig passed its mot only a few hours before the check message appeared. which has made me wonder if when they checked the towbar electrics , could thier equipment have caused it.

The fault being there means the system is reading a bulb failure .. a techII session will make no difference at all.

Solution is simple, find out which bulb the system "thinks" has failed. Buy a decent quality bulb and replace each bulb in turn, or, more simply, buy 4 decent bulbs and replace them all ..

Check system does not cover towbar, double check all bulbs are working

That is possible.

Once my MOT inspection led to the headlight level system device on the front nearside wishbone being damaged!    So yes the MOT inspector could have done something to create the fault.  I would certainly inspect the towbar electrics.

+1 and/or replace all bulbs with good quality ones (Vx genuine or Ring work well with Omegas) - Halfords bulbs do not!

I'm sure you have checked the number plate lights

Number plate lamp isn't on the check system
