My drivers side mirror isn't here, but two others are.

Also windscreen squirted don't work, will these two fail mot?

Yes.

The washers will fail.

This is taken from the testers manual.

Obligatory mirrors are
a. an exterior mirror fitted to the offside (right-hand side when seated in the
drivers seat), or

b, an exterior mirror fitted to the
nearside left hand side when seated In the drivers seat), or

c. an interior mirror.

3. The windscreen washers do not provide enough liquid to clear the windscreen in conjunction with the wiper(s)

As stared in the last post washer jet alone is a fail.

Depending on the age of the car, so will the mirror. The requirement (assuming you're not driving a classic) is for 2 mirrors one of which must be an external off-side one (ie: driver's door mirror).

Bear in mind, it doesn't need to be the "proper" mirror - a clip-on accessory one is fine if it gives adequate view.

Does the milage need to be displayed to pass an MOT. My girlfriends car's display no longer lights up

It is not shown as a reason to refuse to test or as a testable item and "not displayed" can be used on the manual fall back paperwork. As long as the speedometer is illuminated I do not see a problem.

Washers still don't work but they passed it

He said he had to do some work on exhorst but how can I tell if he really did the work I paid him for?

They passed it with no drivers door mirror and inoperative washers?

I think I will just ignore this thread now as it is likely to be a wind up

Best not to take your vehicle there for repair
