Hi,

I have a severely cracked windscreen currently which is currently due to undergo repair. Will it be a problem getting a new MOT?

It should be noted this is all on the passengers side and does not impeed my vision (but then again anything over 20mph in a type 7 everything is all blurry anyway....)

Cheers, Matt

Take the screen off ?
its only 4 bolts on my 7 to do so

Also, i believe if there is any crack chip with in the windscreen wipe, that is a fail

40mm is the limit (outside the drivers vision) - and 10mm within.

40mm within the swept area of the wipers isn't it?

I guess this would have failed then


broken

But seriously, if you consider it severely cracked, so would an MOT tester and refuse you a ticket, you could always pop it in and ask the tester before the test.

This is the current crack.

That will fail the MOT without a doubt. Might want to re-size that pic however.

i would not even want to drive the car in that condition, as any small contact and the screen will be in a million pieces

And in your face

Thanks, this is why i am replacing it obviously, but just wanted to know if i could get it through the MOT with the crack or not.

Look's like i will be cancelling the MOT : (

Cheers.

Take it off for the MOT, simples!

Removed the windscreen today and MOT due on Friday. It's going to fail due to the horn not working but with lack of time i am letting the garage doing the MOT fix the horn - Visa time...
