Just had the MOT. It failed on 8.3.1a and 8.3.1d, because of wiper blade damage to the EDGE of the blade.

Can you see anything that looks bad enough to fail? Particularly when you consider that all I can see through the scratch (which is more of a slight thin distortion than scratch) is above 1cm of road above the bonnet! There's a closeup of a small chip, which is in zone A, but is5mm across, the limit being 10mm.
If I look here:

it says:Scratches on the windscreen ie light surface scratching, are not to be considered as damage. However, an area of concentrated scratching such as caused by the prolonged use of a defective wiper blade which obscures vision is to be considered a reason for rejection if it meets the fail criteria.Do you think I should go back and ask for a second opinion? Otherwise, it's £100 for a new windscreen.
