Mot fail on headlamp washer & wipers
Hi All
Would I be right in saying that when the car has a 96k service they should check that the headlamp washers & wipers work? I know they do not work but were agreed to be fixed by the seller of the car. Would the car fail an MOT left not working? Is there a thread about MOT FAILIURES? Cheers Ricco |
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. Although a car doesn't have to have headlamp washers/wipers to pass an MOT (ie. older cars) I am almost sure that if they are fitted on a car, they come under the MOT.

Have a look at the sticky in the General Volvo/motoring forum for the 2012 MOT new regs.!
It depends on which headlights you have...if they are the "old" washer/wiper system (and not the newer HIDS/power wash) then they don't have to be working AFAIK. I disconnected mine some time ago and it's always passed the MOT. Neil |
Wot Neil said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As you know my 3 cars passed their MOT's last week & the S80 & C70 BOTH have defective Headlight wash/wipe systems ... Keith |
Headlamp washers and wipers are NOT part of the MOT test

All cars factory fitted with HiD headlamps must have automatic levelling and a washer system fitted. Don't know what happens if they're retro fitted.

Headlamp washer/wiper/leveling
Hi All
I know mine were not working when I bought the car but the dealer/seller has promised to get them fixed (getting done today as I type). I wondered if should have passed the MOT back in October when I know it was also not working as there was not even a fuse in the socket! Guess it was OK to pass. |
