MOT Failure?

Silly question, but as I've never MOTed a car before. My Rover 214si P Reg (new shape) is due next week (start of march), can I fail my MOT if my back additional brake light (above the boot) and my back window washer spray isn't working?

I've been told it is a failure and it's not, so any ideas?

Please reply!!!
