mot failure
 

Hi just took my girlfriends Ka for mot and its failed due to the sunstrip, saying wipers touched it and the view restricted, also told they were illegal is this true help would be appreciated. I have one on my scooby don't want to remove that at mot time.

If it's in the line of sight mate then yes it would fail an MOT!!

the "drivers view" of the road must not be obstructed by anything larger than 10mm within the confines of the wiper blades swept area.
Outside of that but still within the drivers view no obstruction can be larger than 40mm.

"Drivers view" is classed as 290mm wide view centered obout the steering wheel.

straight from MOT manual..


P.s SUNSTRIPS are GAY. :p

o well i will take my sunstrip of :notworthy

:D

Perhaps fitting slightly shorter wipers will suffice here?

Thanks for the answers and help never knew some of this cheers, she won't be happy she loves the sunstrip.

i put the sunstrip on the inside of mine, and did it out of tinting film and the chap at the mot place was more then happy with it.

The daft thing is:

This country doesn't have enough sun to warrant a strip* :cuckoo:

(* this sentance can be applied to many circumstances :norty::( )

Hmmmph!! Mine got it's ticket today on the proviso that the rear shockers were done pronto... And I mean by Monday- 200 quid, ta. :) Sunstrip my arse. :D

Sounds painful :eek:
