Windscreen Wipers

Can a car fail its MOT on windscreen wipers?

The answer is yes – the windscreen wipers are checked during the annual MOT test and if they’re judged to be ineffective, then your car will fail its MOT.

There are a few signs which suggest you need to replace the wiper blades such as:

  • The wipers don’t clear the windscreen
  • They make squealing noises
  • They leave streaks on the windscreen
  • They don’t make proper contact with the windscreen

If you notice any of these signs, get in touch with the team at New Garage (Harnham). We stock a large selection of windscreen wiper blades at our workshop in Salisbury, so we’ll have no problem selecting the correct wiper blades for your vehicle and fitting them for you.
