MOT fail or recommendation?

Driver's mirror.
Also any idea of the quickest way to get replacement glass or mirror? 2006 Skoda Fabia and Halfords don't do the stick on glass, they say I'll have to do a template and send it off.

Thanks.

Mine's not heated though. Just a bog standard manual one.

Should not be a problem if you have no wires to connect, the mirror glass is likely to be a standard part used for heated and non heated applications.

Can you get a mirror cheaper anywhere else?

Unless you have a really nasty tester that should be a pass & advise. A fail requires it to be damaged to an extent that seriously affects vision and you'll be able to see just fine in that.

This one Joe and I do agree. That is not an mot failure.

Looking back, I reckon we agree more times than not - it's just when we don't we tend to do it robustly

Assuming there's no sharp edges

And I think you only need 2 mirrors. So if rearview and passenger are OK it shouldn't be a fail.
