There isnt a foglight indicator in the instrument cluster,
There should be a light displayed on the light switch when the foglights are switched on, maybe the bulb has gone

Maybe the MOT inspector expects a fog light indicator on the instrument panel, but didn't see one so failed. Perhaps he dosn't realise that it's on the switch. You know what these mechanics are like with Scorpio's

If you go to This page and scroll down to the last photo it shows a switch in great detail and the location of the front and rear fog lamp warning lights are behind the two symbols shown on the lower left of the switch bezel.

I think what Oz is saying is that the MOT bloke didn't see a warning light for the fogs where all the other warning lights are, by the speedo

Orange light in the middle of the knob isn't it?
Are you sure you've never seen it? 
LED's don't 'blow' like bulbs, could be a bad connection issue (?)

The light in the centre of the switch merely tells you where the 'switch' is. If you look at the photo which I mentioned my earlier post you will see the symbols for the front and rear fog lights and they are individually illuminated.
