MOT Failure or Pass??
Any MOT Testers on here care to comment?
I don't think it would affect the beam pattern??
Should it pass or will I be looking at a failure??
Cheers

Well, I will report back Friday if it passed or not ..........
I take my cars to a very strict MOT Test Centre as I like to have an honest report on the condition of my vehicles - and normally I give them a Service and a good check over, this is the only thing I can find which may give an issue.
Price of a new Headlamp anyone?

Even bought 2 new Tyres today for the rear, the others were legal but better to show willing
Just wondered whether the Headlamps would be an advisory or a straight fail ..

Cheers all ....... just looked at the beam pattern on the wall - no scatter, nice clean pattern - should be OK
As an aside, the glass looks like it has 4 metal clips around the Headlamp - does this mean the glass alone can be replaced?

Had a chip in mine exactly the same as that since I bought it, never failed an MOT in the 8 yrs I've had it. (When it does, I might get round to fitting the new headlight I bought 8 yrs ago)
(It'll only fail if the beam pattern is impaired, either by the chip or indirectly later by the reflective coating getting knacked by water ingress.)

I read that I could 'Black out' the HeadLamps and they will not be tested and a Pass issued
Little known fact that vehicles do not need Headlamps - but, if they do have them, they must work.

Entirely up to the garage whether to charge or not for retest. I did hear a year or two ago that the actual cost to the garage was 20p to the Dept of Transpt & the rest was theirs.
