Default MOT Failure

Does anyone have a good idea if a car can still pass an mot with the following damage;

damage bonnet
damaged wing
damaged bumper

by damaged I mean beyond repair, the car drives fine and the slam panel isn't disturbed, would any of these be described as a failure ??

If they're dangerous to pedestrians (esp. in event of hitting one)

Failure imo.

Any sharp edges is an immediate failure

Cover it in Duck tape!

Just get rid of the sharp edges and hope the headlight is pointing the right way!

I would have thought hitting a pedestrian would be dangerous in a car whether it's damaged or not

Seriously though so long as there are no sharp edges you should be ok

As everyone has said just make sure there is no sharp edges and that the bumper and wing are secure and not hanging off
