Reverse Light Not Working

[Zap]

The missus Leon MK4 went in for an MOT today and weirdly it failed on the reverse light not working. They gave her the keys and said come back next Friday, although its failed its MOT which im sure its now illegal to drive, cars still under extended warranty and they don't have a courtesy car available as they are all out on loan. Never letting her go on her own again!

So i've had a look and i'm sure previously when you put it into reverse the parking sensors pop up on screen but its not doing that now so im thinking its the reverse sensor?

I have checked all the fused etc no issues there, anyone else had anything similar or any checks i can do as desperately need the car for work and dont feel like driving on an expired and now failed MOT.

Thanks!

As soon as I get home I look at the technical documentation

Cant see the connector on the top of the gearbox, guess it's underneath? 1.5tsi engine

yes, if it is, it is definitely under there. probably remove the underride protection too. I'm not home yet
