	quote: Originally posted by Fear mine passed fine with my single wiper! tell them if they fail citroen ZX/AXs as they only have single wipers as standard! Yup! also the C15 van had a single wiper! tell your MOT tester to tell you the amount of screen that needs to be clear,

	get a longer wiper blade to cover more of the screen

	Just had an MOT done and it failed on the single wiper!.The car got through with it on last year, but the guy said it restricts my view because it doesn't wipe all the screen. I want to contest this, any advice on what to do or any website with the legalities of all this.:mad:
