Windscreen crack outside swept area

[JRdrums]

Hi, I have a crack at the edge of my windscreen that is over 40 mm in length but is outside the swept area of the windscreen. Looking online some organisations say a crack anywhere more than 40mm is a MOT fail. Others say it’s only a fail within the swept area. Do I need to replace my windscreen for the mot ?
Thanks 🤩

Just get it fixed, then you don't have to worry about the MoT.

Check for:

damage in windscreen zone A more than 10mm in diameter
damage in the remainder of the windscreen’s swept area more than 40mm in diameter
damage to windows on either side of the driver’s seat
excessive tinting or discolouration of the windscreen or windows on either side of the driver’s seat

Failure for damage is only justified if the damage significantly affects the driver’s view of the road. You do not need to consider the effects on tall or short drivers.
