When it passes put in an appeal against to first guy and get the costs back.

If you take it some where else it will just be tested as a new mot. Other garage's don't get to see the fail sheets on the system from previous tests

Are you saying the MOT tester was right then to fail it if the wipers don't always automatically park at the bottom of the screen? (You can, of course, switch the wipers off at the right time so they stop at their park position).

Yes if the wipers park across the screen at time of test then it should fail because it is blocking the driver veiw. In all fairness we test the vehicle how it is. We arn't going to be there messing about to get the wipers to park at a certain point. Because that is not how they should work
One question if you just brought the vehicle from new is that how the wipers would operate

:lol:wonder what he would do with a Series One, cos you can get them with one wiper only, plus they don't park until you twiddle the knob to move the wiper out of the way.
Mind you my Grandson had an argument with his College lecturere about seat belts and the MOT, the lecturer was adamant every vehicle has to have seatbelts or no MOT, he argued pre64 don't need them as not built or designed for them !!
Grandson is going in with a mate in his 1950 Series One with no seatbelts and his current legal MOT !!!!!
