MOT Failure?
 

Is a broken rear windscreen wiper an MOT failure?

Re: MOT Failure?
 

a rear wiper is not a testable item so should not fail on that


* i take no responsibilty if you do fail mind you :)

I have one on order from fiat (yep only available from them, full arm not just blade WTF?)

as Q
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!

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

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!

Swap them with the rears.
Me old used to do that when the test was due
