Volkswagen Polo III (2000 - 2002) - 01 1.4 Cracked windscreen 19 Jan 2010 (Forum)
My sons Polo has developed a crack in the windscreen (probably due to the cold weather) It starts at the bottom edge in the centre. It moves up about 50 mm and then curves towards the passenger side about 80mm. Although it,s within the "swept area" it doesn,t impede the driver,s view nor is it distracting. Will it pass the MOT ? Thanks in anticipation. -
