Hi,

Does anyone know if there are any potential issues with getting a car Mot'd that has no windscreen and therefore no wipers?

To clarify its a Land Rover based vehicle that did when new have a windscreen, but has been removed.

Thanks.

None at all, it only has to work if it's fitted.

Is this a serious question or rhetorical?

A naked chassis would not have lights, indicators etc. so would obviously not pass.
If you mean an exoskeletal type car with all the lights etc fitted then yes it could pass.

Yes, you can have a daylight mot so that gets round some issues. And the rest only have to work if fitted.

Thats my understanding anyway.
