Its possible you need a new electronic speed sensor thats fitted to the gearbox. If that does not resolve the issue then it could the the speed sensor in the clock itself?

Price for a used sensor varies about 25-40 pounds depends where you go?
Will it fail mot if found, yes.
That depends if the tester drives it around the block to test the brakes. He might pick up the speedo is not working .
Unless they have the 4 wheel rolling road type tester. Who knows?

first thing to check..
if the odemeter (mileage counter) is moving, but the speedo needle isnt means you need new speedo clocks
if neither is working, you prob need the gearbox sender unit
