Windscreen damage can happen when you least expect it, especially on the varied roads of South Wales.

A cracked windscreen can cause an MOT failure depending on where the damage is, how large it is, and whether it affects the driver’s view of the road. This guide explains how MOT testers assess windscreen damage, what the wiper-swept area and driver’s line of sight mean in practice, and when a crack may still pass. It also highlights why dealing with windscreen damage early is often the safest and simplest option before MOT day.
