MOT Failure?

The lens of my nearside front indicator is missing as the result of some
unknown idiot in a carpark...
The indicator itself is still working fine, and is currently protected by a
piece of extra-strength clear plastic sheet.
Does anyone know if it will get through an MOT in its current state?

 

It should pass if it`s showing amber and no white light, and there is no
danger to the public from sharp edges. My Volvo had had a plastic patch
over a rear light for several years with no complaints from MoT testers

Why not simply take a trip to the mot station and ask them if they would
fail it. That shouldnt cost anything just for an opinion, and you will get a
far more accurate answer than anyone here can give you, sight unseen.

Alternatively, why not just buy another lens cover.

Fair comment. I'll try an pop into the nearest MOT centre at the weekend,
and get an opinion...
Sadly not a case of just fitting a new lens cover. The impact was quite hard
(I guess) and has caused some internal damage to the brackets etc, so
probably needs more work than just a lens...

 

I'm lead to beleive that they just have to be secure and show an amber
light. One of mine was made almost enitrely from coloured fibreglass
resin.
