Nothing in here says that the windscreen wipers need to srlf park. My Brava's wiper motor has lost the self park function and it's MOT is due so it looks like it will still pass. What does the panel think?

It's probably the case as I had an old 1973 Mini as my first car with single speed non self parking wipers.

there is no need for self park, just sweep the right area of screen on demand

There y'go, then.

No problem. I know this for a fact, btw, from several of the fleet. It may just be a relay.

When this happened to me it turned out to be a fuse, strangely.

Information: Wiper Blades.

Wiper blades that park automaticaly in a postion that obsecures the view through the windscreen are subject to Reason for Rejection 1 [1]

so what it means is if its parked or parks in the upright position it becomes an obstruction, its not down to the tester to get the wipers to park correctly, the older vehicles that do not have a self park facility pass because that is down to design charitaristics.
