Hi all.

My car is going for MOT on monday. All is fine with the car and should pass, however I have one concern.
The rear wiper has never worked since I got the car last August. I have changed the motor in the boot and the relay on the fuse panel and it still dosen't work. I was hoping to get some blanking grommits to blank it off however they have note arrived in time after being ordered from a well known site. Please can someone advise if it will fail an MOT with the rear wiper inoperational. The wiper blade on the wiper itself is fine.
I work on the premise that if its there it should "work". Is this the same for the MOT?


cheers michael
