MOT comes with a blue sticker now so its easier if your know the guy at the MOT station very well that should sort you out.

get a shorter wiper blade so that it doesnt sit over the windscreen banner ???

i think with the tinted blinkers you might just squeeze past.

Reverse lights....checked the bulbs? Im not sure where the reverse light switch is but yours could be faulty?

Remember the MOT is to show that your car is safe so dont risk it by geting a dodgy one :-\

The windscreen banner will only fail if it is seriously low, I would cut it back a little or remove it for the MOT.

The blinkers will be ok as long as they show orange when flashing.

And I don't think reverse lights are part of an MOT.
