Quick questions I have wipers and fake washer jets on my Locost which are not connected, Will I have to remove them and the wind screen for the MOT?

Also is reverse light a MOT requirement as I don't have one.

remove them or get them working!

reverse light not required for MOT, even if you have one, it doesn't have to work

Do I have to remove just the wipers and jets or the Screen as well?

Thank you

if you have a screen, then it must have wipers and washers that work. remove the whole lot. screen included

why would you have washers and wipers that don't don't work though? is it just so you don't get stoppped asking why you don't have any wipers?

nope, it doesn't. had a e30 bmw and the reversing lights never worked. passed many mots while i had it. reverse lights are not tested.

reverse light is not tested working or not because if it was tested then it would be a fail white light is not allowed to be shown at the rear
