Are faulty headlamp washers an MoT fail?
My 1996 Daihatsu Fourtrak is due its MoT soon and I've noticed that the headlamp washers don't work. Is this an MoT failure?

Faulty headlight washers are usually a minor MoT defect. It will only result in a fail (major defect) if the car has LED or HiD (high-intensity discharge) headlights.
