this inspection.
If it's ok here, good chance you're ok over there.
Mirrors...weird this must have changed. Or differs from the legal Construction and Use stuff. Definitely 1986 on C&U states it must have all 3, as Ive queried this with the police before.
Taken from our MOT manual
Obligatory mirrors are:
a. An exterior mirror fitted to the offside side(right-hand side when seated in the driver’s
seat, or
b. An exterior mirror fitted to the nearside (left-hand side when seated in the driver’s
seat, or
c. An interior mirror.
Note:
A motor vehicle (not being a goods vehicle or a bus) first used before 1 June 1978
must have any one of the above options.
A motor vehicle (not being a goods vehicle or a bus) first used on or after 1 June
1978 but before 26 January 2010, must have two mirrors, one of which must be option ‘a’.
All goods vehicles first used before 26 January 2010 must have two mirrors, one of
which must be option ‘a’.
