Wont you need to put the headlight washers back in for the MOT?

 

 

Dont think its a requirement :shrug:

 

Was it not part of those new MOT rules? I

 

That's what I thought and I confirmed it with the Nissan Dealer who does my MOTs.

Thx guys, most cara don't even have washers so not sure why it would be a requirement?

 

Washers and a self levelling system are a legal requirement for Xenon headlights. The new MOT rules were going to stipulate that the associated parts of the xenons must be present and working for the MOT. Obviously it'll depend on how generous/friendly you are with the tester.

The rules are....

 

 

Products on the lens or light source that obviously reduce the light's intensity or change its colour will become a reason for failure – applies to front/rear position lamps, registration plate lamps, stop lamps, rear fog and direction indicators,

 

Headlight requirements are updated to take account of the particular characteristics of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps.

 

HID headlights can cause dazzle if they are dirty or aimed too high so car manufacturers must fit headlamp cleaning and levelling systems. Where HID or LED dipped beam headlamps are fitted the tester will switch on the headlamps and check the operation of any headlamp levelling and cleaning devices fitted.

 

The car will fail if a headlamp levelling or cleaning device is inoperative or otherwise obviously defective.

 

If a headlamp bulb is not seated correctly the resulting beam pattern will be indistinct and this will result in a test fail.

 

As AK350Z says , a lot of this will be down to the guy who does the test. If I had to present my car to an MOT station I would remove all traces of the washer system and plead ignorance ;)
