Will a car pass mot if the windscreen washer does not work?

It is unlikely that a car will pass its Ministry of Transport (MOT) test if the windscreen washer is not working. The windscreen washer is an important safety feature that helps to keep the windscreen clear of dirt, debris, and other obstructions that can impair the driver's vision. A faulty windscreen washer could result in the driver being unable to see clearly, which could lead to an accident.

The MOT test is a comprehensive inspection of a vehicle's safety and roadworthiness. It is conducted by a qualified MOT tester at an authorised MOT testing centre. The test covers a wide range of items, including the windscreen washer. If the windscreen washer is found to be faulty, the vehicle will fail its MOT test and will not be allowed to be driven on the road until the fault has been rectified.

The windscreen washer is a relatively simple and inexpensive part to repair or replace. If your windscreen washer is not working, it is important to have it fixed as soon as possible to avoid failing your MOT test and to ensure that you can drive safely.
