There is a resistor in the box at the bottom, you'll need to put a multimeter across it. Unless there is a break in the circuit I can't think of any other reason. Is it both sides that double flash when using the stalk or just one side?

The only other way I can think to check would be to turn off the bulb checks and see if that cures it. Would also solve the MOT issue, though if they flash at between 60 and 120 per minute and there is no dash warning on then they should pass, and even a Minor isn't a fail:

4.4.4 Flashing frequency
Indicators must flash at between 60 and 120 times per minute. Semaphore type direction indicators don't need to flash.

Either way, shouldn't be a fail.
Need Carly or NCS expert to code out

As I've quoted, a minor defect is not a fail.

So the car is detecting an indicator bulb fault (you've said on both sides). Not used Carly but there will be the option to turn off front indicator checks, I just can't say how.

Front fogs are not monitored.
