if the mot station does a free re-test then just take it in and see, if it fails buy a washer if not then replace it at your leisure. i think it will probably need to be working though.

Only the front wipers and washer jets need to work for the MOT.

You don't need rear washer or wiper to work to pass the MOT. The wiper blade can even be split on the rear. Hang on I'll see if I can dig out the legislation for you :wink:

This is a fantastic resource:-

If it ain't in there it isn't tested..........one of my drinking buddies is an MOT tester and we've yet to find fault with this. You're ok with your washer :wink:

I'm pretty sure there is no need to remove it. Check that manual. I've submitted cars for their MOT with the rear wiper absolutely knackered (ex split windscreen wiper) and they haven't even looked at it.

back washer and wipe are not included in the MOT, my old XR2i's back wiper didnt work, and the blade was split as well, buit it failed on other things like welding underneath and my sunstrip i had on it was a fail as well????!!!  :shocked:

Thats when i sold the fiesta and got me golf... yay!  :smiley:
