Got one front fog not working and I have my mot tomorrow, will it fail for it? Should I tape over them both or something?

Not sure you can, it's a 306, thought you had to get a new unit, could be wrong. I don't use them, just want to car to pass. Might have a word with him see if it will let it go since he's sound, obviously the bulb went after he checked, these things do happen.

I know you dont need them, but i read if you have lights in place e.g front fogs, they have to work

Front fog lights aren't tested. Neither have to work, even if they're fitted.
If you want to be double-y sure, put a piece of tape over the switch.
I tested a BMW 318i with front fogs fitted and no switch, no trouble at all.
And I always like to give the tester a pep talk before they start.

I would probably fail you on that basis.
I understood that if they were fitted, they had to be functional, same as your spare wheel. Could be wrong.

My front fogs weren't tested at my last one. I always thought with the reverse light, If fitted must work.
