is a spare not a legal requirement any more?

Don't think it ever has been (however of you do carry a spare it has to
be in legal condition).

As pointed out in the link above, a spare tyre does NOT have to be
legal :-

"Tyres fitted to the road wheels only. The vehicle presenter should
be informed when it is noticed that there is a defective tyre on a
spare wheel."

Oh well, another one to chalk up as urban legend then.

I've been labouring under that particular misapprehension for several
decades, also. And I was told it by an MOT tester... God, the number
of times I took out spare wheels for MOTs, in the days when I had no
money and ran ratty old bangers.
