Rear wiper

[Hazza]

During an MOT do they check this?

Wouldn't imagine so mate, some cars are made without them.

Yeah that's what i thought, my rear wiper has lost its blade, haven't bought a new one because the rear window is hardly dirty!

most saloons, coupes, bmw 3 & 5 series'... then again people with hatches remove them, so you could be right

If you have one, it's checked, and they can advise or even fail you on it. If it's not there at all, then obviously that's fine.

Same for spare wheels. If it's there, they check it and can advise/fail you on it.

So are you saying i should just take off the whole blade itself and just leave the wiper arm there?

A blade's about £20 at the most.. lol.

Or £5er from tesco.. not the most expensive thing to replace..

Money is besides the point here, but thanks anyway.

I've not ever used my rear wiper, so i wouldn't need to replace it.
