Is the rear wiper on me estate tintop subject to inspection in the same way that the windscreen wipers are for MOT?

Reason i ask is that my Pug has a special fitting rear blade and its buggered, i just found out its a special fitment and its a main stealer item only, i have MOT tomorrow and cant get to the main stealer today...........

If its not part of the test then i wont rush to replace it.
Thanks

Not a legal requirement so not part of the MOT

remove the arm if in doubt

No, definatly NOT an MOT requirement. I had a dodgy one on a fiesta that only worked in the summer, and the MOT was in November.

The rear wiper is not tested as part of the MOT

Thats it then fellas,
Thanks

is there not a rule that if it is fitted to the vehicle then it must work?-
hence in your case and i have done the same in the past-remove it,and it can't be tested.

No , rear wipers are not tested, same as if N/S fog light is fitted it doesn't need to work.
