Pedal Rubbers

Sorry to be a PITA, but can anyone tell me if I need a rubber faced pad fitting to the throttle pedal to get a UK MOT please?
I am assuming that you gotta have them on the clutch and brake pedals and I have two of those clip on jobbies at hand (prised off a scrap S3)
But the throttle pedal I'm not sure about.
And I don't have one to fit.
TBH I'm flat out on my rebuild at present and I really don't have time to download the MOT test manual and read it all right now.
If it is a requirement I'll get it ordered along with my next pile of bits from the 'Addocks

Pedal rubbers were optional, there is no requirement for them for MOT. That's why the brake and clutch pedal are dimpled with side lips, designed so feet in wellies didn't slip off them.

Cheers
I was under the impression that the construction and use regulations had changed on this.

No rubbers on mine, never had problems with MOT.
They were worn a bit smooth so I made new pimples on them with the welder.

Just found a
throttle pedal amongst a box of rusty S3 bits (rubber pad fitted)
If I don't need it for the MOT then all three of the rubber pads can stay in the big
spares box
Cheers all

With wet boots my feet tend to slip more on the passats pedals than they do on the S3s pedals.
Naked is the way forward apparently.

^^^ I'll agree with the above, the pedals are high enough as it is, without those pesky rubbers.

rubberless for years.
