cant fail on low screen wash only if it dont squirt on the screen
or an air freshner there is an advisory saying items removed from drivers view

I know this as im a tester if you like i can take a pic of all the above and post on here or email them to you tonite or go on to directgov.com and look for the mot link and the manual for testing should be on there

Well let that be a lesson for you all check your lights and washers before you take your car in for an mot, and if the speedo's not working get it sorted or you probably get done for speeding sooner or later. :lol:

"speedo clearly inoperative" is a reason for rejection so they we're right to fail it on that.
