Nice bumper but no headlamp washers. Will it pass the mot? Really like the red seats with gunmetal paint. Sorry I missed you. I was only there on the saturday.

Do they have to have headlamp washers to pass?

Do they have to have headlamp washers to pass?

This has been discussed quite a few times in the past, regulations quoted etc. The general consenus is NO, they are not part of the MoT but are technically required by EU law - so they should not fail an MoT on this.

 

AFAIk no-one has ever been failed for this and if it became an issue at one MoT place, I would take mine to another

No .., defo dont need washers for MOT (not part of MOT inspection ), BUT JDM ones do, to pass initial SVA, most just swop bulbs to get through SVA then revert back to original system..

[Guest prescience]

A FAQ is needed here

[Sarnie]

Still not sure about that bumper

 

Lovin the rims and the skirts

I didn't think this was true - but I've just done a detailed search of the dvla site and can't find the testing rules, so you may be right.

I am an MOT tester (all be it for motorcycles ! but we get the same bumph through as for car testers) I am right

[Blacky]

I have MOT testing contacts

 

and Lomoto is dead right, no part of the test

[Guest prescience]

Calling Valerio. You need to update the FAQ as above

 

And while you're about it, make the format nice and consistent with the others i.e. FAQ: :lol:

 

I don't know, if a job's worth doing

Well...

 

1. I stand corrected

2. There was no need for me to tell Abbey to relocate the headlight washers then, was there!!
