On a split screen series is it an MOT fail just to have a wiper at the drivers side?

If it's the separate motor type, quite a bit, after you've found one!

An MOT tester can not fail a car under the "If it's fitted it must work" rule. The MOT manual is very specific as to what constitutes a fail and if it isn't classified as a fail then it's a pass. there is no ambiguity whatsoever. There are plenty of links to the online MOT testers manual. That you can lookup to see if the tester was right to fail your motor.

Dont need one on the passanger side but if you have one it must work.
Not too sure if you need one at all on any side.

O.K. what's happened is this. Previous owner fitted new bulkhead during unfinished restoration. There are three holes for wiper bosses. the driver one is ok but he mounted the passenger wiper boss in the hole nearest the centre screen divider. Consequently when the arm and blade is fitted it bounces over the divider when mounted one way and bounces over the windscreen pillar in the other position. Do I just need o remount the boss in the hole nearest to the windscreen pillar?
I can understand all that drivel, just hope you can.

Nobody really answered this bit. It's got a single wiper motor and the arms travel in same direction. As above, will they work if I shift the neaside boss to the hole nearest the door pillar.
