Windscreen crack and MOT?
Afternoon all, my work are auctioning off their old work van and I might have a punt on it. MoT runs out on Oct and there is a big crack in the windscreen but not in the drivers view as you look over the top of it.
Anyway, is this likely to fail the MoT?
Cheers.

its not all about vision it also is weak point on the screen as glass forms part of structure of car on bonded glass so its down to testers judgement so could go either way

Pass and advise if its not in the View of the road what ever zone its in chaps.
From the manual.
To inspect the condition of glass:
