1:-bottle cracking
2:-pipes for screen wash being frozen hot water =split pipes
3:- and if you avoid all that and spray it on the windscreen if it is still warm what's going to happen to your frozen windscreen ??

if it fails for a wondow washer, it is left in the garage and corrected, then this will be the ony thing they retest.
if you drive it out of the garage, then you will have to have it restested completley. but then if you do drive it out the garage, it will have no valid mot and your insurance may be void.

the MOT set up in Northern Ireland is totally different to the mainland, here there are official government run testing centres,garages are not allowed to carry out the testing.
If a car fails, a retest fee of £18-50 is charged.However the retest relates only to the original fault, not a complete retest.

Let me give you a scenario...the MOT tester says "don't worry Fred, the wind screen washer isn't working, bit never mind, when the thaw comes it will be fine, here is your MOT certificate"
Fred then drives home, windscreen dirty, has difficulty in seeing through it, knocks down and kills a child. Inquest shows that the windscreen was in such a dirty state that the driver couldn't see through it after having been given an MOT certificate 30 mind before.
Who do you think would be criticised and have his MOT testing licence removed?
