Would the above horn be classed as a single tone for mot?

No, but you may get it through depending on the year of the car. The last MOT I put my Buggy through they didn't even test the horn.

Why not fit a small change-over flick switch to swap between it and a regular horn for normal use. I've found there's a bit of delay on those novelty horns so would prefer a normal on for use 'in anger' where I want people to take notice of rather than just laugh.

According to volkszone it appears to be fine.

Good point! But for the most part if there are a fair few people saying they've all had MOT passes with them fitted they must be fine. Always get someone to wade in with the MOT book to start a big argument as well which is always fun to read  :P

What year is your car?

Seem to recall something about 1973 being the changeover year, anything after that must be single tone and not musical
