MOT inspection manual - wipers (www.motuk.com)
This site contains details of what MOT testers look for when carrying out an MOT test. Section 6.1 talks about windscreens and the driver's view of the road and the first checks in this section cover the condition, security and effectiveness of the wiper blades and their contact with the windscreen. Read more about windscreen wipers and the MOT test.
Autoglass® - book a windscreen repair or replacement online
If your windscreen has a stone chip or crack then (a) this could cause damage to your windscreen wiper blades and (b) the damage may ultimately cause your vehicle to fail its MOT. To reduce the chance of either thing happening book a windscreen chip repair or replacement before it's too late.
However, if your screen is healthy and you just need new wipers because the old ones are in need of replacement, Autoglass® sells Bosch windscreen wiper blades at its branches and will fit them for free while you wait (you can't get this service mobile unless you are having damaged glass repaired at the same time). Find your nearest Autoglass® branch.
