Make sure the hazard rocker switch is fully switched or unswitched and also check the flasher relays. Drove myself mad trying to work it out before and twice I've been caught out by it.

First time the rocker switch was half switched, second time the connectors had come off the relay behind the clocks

Try the hazard switch on the dash.
They are a fairly common cause of such problems.
For the Main beam, check for any loose wires in the Black connector block behind the front grill or the Main / dip switch on the steering column.
Follow the coloured cables for that circuit.

Only the plastic cowling around the switches etc. Just a few phillips screws involved.

Hope the MOT goes well too.
