Is a broken rear windscreen wiper an MOT failure?

Don't think its in the requirements, as the transit connects are classed as cars and the rear wiper is optional

Re: MOT Failure?
I sort of thought that. It is the wife's car and I have been asking her for the last month - 6 weeks about when her MOT is due and finally found out - NOW!
So two new front-tyres needed and a new wiper arm for the rear, oh and she needs tax too! |

Re: MOT Failure?
Rear wiper / washer not a testable / failable item ... some testers may put it down as an advisory .
Put the new tyres on before you present it for the test ... at least the tester will know you try & keep your car in a safe condition ! I hate it when i test a car with bald tyres or other obvious faults & when it fails they say yeah i thought it would fail on that !! best of luck Caz |

Re: MOT Failure?
Tyres sorted only one really need doing but the other was close and as they are fronts on a front wheel drive car, decided to do both!
