Hi,
When I aquired my car last year it was M.O.T'd the week I collected it, It had then and still has a perfectly round crack about 35-40mm dia (like a scaffold pole hit it?).It can't be felt from the in or outside and doesn't obstruct my view as its on the passenger side and high and hides away behind mt rearview mirror.
will it pass an M.O.T ?
can tis be repaired and at what price?
cheers

Ask your insurance company as many repair them Free and no loss of excess having said that a 40mm diameter mark you can not feel sounds a bit odd. Regards Peter

IIRC, if the mark is anywhere outside of where the wipers sweep, then a tester cannot fail it.
|
It is just in the sweep area but cannot be felt so can't damage the wipers and cant be seen by me(the driver) as the mirror obstructs it....
I suppose it depends who M.O.Ts it and what mood there in...
I will quote what Ive written here and see what he says...

Have a look at this:

This is the Testers Bible on what he looks at on your problem.
How does it compare?

The gentleman who stated anywhere outside the swept for this type of break is correct - essentially if you take the width of the steering wheel and look directly up to the limit of the swept area there can be no break over 10mm, outside of this area but still within the swept area the limit is 40mm.
Hope this helps
P.S. If a car is presented for testing without a windsreen the tester has to pass it as there is nothing to test!
