jessperkins17 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Right guys! I have my mot booked for saturday (aaahh) for my little 1l arosa and I have question to ask?! I have stickers on my rear window all down one side (which you'll see on my newbie post) and basically I was wondering if I'll have to take them off for mot? Could they fail it for obstructing vision ? And my air fresheners hanging from my rear view mirror!? Hopefully she passes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan535 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 The Mot Testers guide says re the view to the rear: 1 An obligatory mirror or indirect vision device missing or insecure. 2. An obligatory mirror or indirect vision device: a. obscured, damaged or deteriorated so that the view to the rear is seriously impaired b. does not provide an adequate view to the rear or is incapable of being adjusted to provide an adequate view. So it's really up to how the Mot tester is feeling on the day - likewise the air freshener! However, there is no charge for a retest so you just have to take the air freshener off and if required, peel off (some of?) the stickers while it is still there and they should pass it - unless they find something else - good luck!

Deadmetal Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Take the air fresheners off, then put them back on after the MOT.You should be ok with the stickers on the rear window, my Lupo passed a couple MOTs with stickers on the rear window and yours look no worse than mine.

electricracer Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 as long as you have two wing mirrors you can block the whole window out and it will still pass, after all thats all a van is, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessperkins17 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 ahh thank you for all the advice guys! I was just asking as ive read a few things in the past about people failing because of air fresheners but they are the easiest to take off so ill do that just incase! and I suppose I should be worrying about the bigger (more expensive things) haha but I wanna get the silly things out of the way! - dont worry the screen wash is topped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elz8462 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't worry, take the air freshners off if you're worried but even if it doesn't pass you can just take the stickers off and retest it, retests are free you know?
