Speedo - MOT fail?

[ad70x7]

I've got an MOT coming up and my speedo isn't working and obviously isn't clocking the miles.
I would have thought this would definitely be an MOT failure but having just googled it I'm getting different answers.
Is anyone able to confirm if it is a failure or not?
I will be fixing it but i'm quite busy at the moment so it would be handy if could do it after the MOT.

well they dont take the car on a test drive

but they do spin the wheels up on the rollers

What sort of car is it?

Just so I can avoid buying it, you understand.

It's an advisory until April then it'll be a fail.

That's my understanding. Same as with the other new tests for this year.
