Visibility
Lights, Bulbs and Wiper Blades
When you’re on the road, you need to see and be seen. Head lights, day time running lights, brake lights, fog lights and indicators all need to be in good working order to give you the best visibility on the road in all conditions. The correct beam alignment, along with functioning bulbs are some essential points to check during an MOT. Something as small as a faulty bulb can cause your vehicle to fail.
Wiper blades also need to be checked to ensure good visibility. If your wipers leave streaks across your windscreen when used, it could cause your car to fail its MOT.

Advice 
Make sure you have the right size wiper blades for your car. If you have the wrong size, they won’t work properly. Ask us if you’re not sure.
In cold weather, when your windscreen freezes over, wiper blades can freeze in place and stick. If you turn on the wipers before they’ve defrosted, you could damage them. Make sure to defrost your windscreen fully before setting off.
Wiper blades should be changed once a year, but don’t forget your rear wiper blade too.
We would recommend that you should regularly check that all your light are working correctly. Try each light one by one and make sure you check that each is fully illuminated and remains on for a couple of minutes.
