I'll second Chris's recommendation of www.motuk.co.uk - if it ain't
listed in the tester's manual as an explicit "reason for
rejection", you can't fail for it.

Like the one I had once: horn not loud enough

Just as well that is listed, then...

Reason for Rejection:
c. the sound emitted by the horn is not loud enough to be heard by
another road user

Strange, I was just talking about this earlier today..

A while ago I had half a dozen run-ins with idiots* on the road that
were bad enough for me to want 'make them aware of my presence' -
which I very rarely do.

The standard horn was so weedy - 'meep' - that I went out and bought a
nice pair of Stebel Magnum horns (139dB) and fitted that instead.

Since then I don't think I've used it for real once. Typical. The MOT
tester noticed it though. He asked me to warn him next time ;-)

You do realise that the horn can be of an unacceptable tone !!!!!
Apparently they must not be strident.
