Usually it would not even be looked at due to car not leaving MOT bay, however if its a 4x4 the brakes can not be tested on the brake rollers, and has to be tested on the road (unless you got a nice tester ) The tester will proberbly notice the speedo not working but don't know if its a testable item

nice cheers for that mark, forgot bout them!

thats good if it aint part of the test then, but does it not have to record the mileage for the MOT?

still need to get it sorted either way

Ah now that could be a good point as the last test i did was the old style and not the computerised affaire. They will record the mileage.
