Put up for annual test, Megane passed finally (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

promoted

'put up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for annual test megane passed finally' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pro' (I've seen this before).
'annual test' becomes 'mot' (Ministry of Transport test).
'finally' suggests the final letters.
The last letters of 'megane passed' are 'ed'.
'pro'+'mot'+'ed'='PROMOTED'

(Other definitions for promoted that I've seen before include "Advanced" , "Pushed" , "Put up" , "Publicised" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
