It failed on:
- Rear fog lamp tell tale not working [1.1.6e]
- Offside rear rear fog lamp not in good working order (not working) [1.1.6b]
- Offside headlamp aim too high [1.6]
- Nearside headlamp not in good working order adverselt affecting beam image [1.2.4a]
- Nearside side repeater incorrect colour [1.5.A1d]
- Offside side repeater incorrect colour [1.5.A1d]
I think my lights might be fucked 
Luckily all of that is easily sorted and it's not anything more serious.

Also, what the fuck is a 'tell tale', is that the stalk/switch?

Yes, it all seemed fine to me, bar the fog, I forgot to check that. The side repeaters are negligable tbh.

It's the green light that comes on when you turn your lights on. It will be on your dash somewhere.

i asssume that was after the adjustments made??
i've never known a car fail for this, my first MOT i picked up and asked if the headlights needed adjusting as i had suspected they were high, the tester said yeh the nearside was a little high but is sorted now....
i've always thought that this was allowed...given a regular car user cannot adjust beam without MOT test equipment!!

I've never actually touched the headlamps.
Upon testing the bulbs and stuff with my Dad beforehand, the full beam bulb didn't come on, so my Dad banged it and it magically came on. Guess that must have done it.

White-ish, through the smoked indicators (std colour).
The front indicator bulbs are also down as an advisory. They are starting to lose their orangeness, apparently.
