i have washers, but do the wipers need to go when you press for water ?

how many speeds does it need?

Wipers need to wipe. They need to cover a certain swept area and be in good condition. No restrictions on speeds or self park. The squirters need to squirt a usable spray within the swept area. No restriction as to when they can be squirted or if the wipers need to be operating.
Demisters not an MOT item.

Wipers can work on separate switch

Only needs to have 45 cycles or more per minute

Dont need intermittent

Not sure about demister

No demister, Washers just need to squirt with no wipe needed. Wipers just need to wipe.

AS owelly said

As above but pretty sure they have to self park.

Self park is not part of the MOT. You could have manually operated ones if you like!!
