hmmmmm do they now ? not in all my years of testing we haven't, a rolling road is a totally different kettle of fish, the brake roller only rolls at approx 4-5 miles an hour, ive had a cars over the years with digital speedos not illegible & they pass no problem at all, you just dont enter any figures in the mileage box. so the answer is the speedo dosnt have to work to pass an mot.
I'm sure it does.
One could think of a situation
There have been cases where drivers have claimed that even though their speedo wasn't working, they knew their speed from the rev counter reading. That defence was not accepted, and they were convicted anyway. Mike.
Which vehicles don't? I assume road rollers or something like that?

Things that can't go over 30mph ever?
I'm using a bicycle speedo on my car ATM, suprisingly accurate, but a bit slow to update. It tells you how fast you were going a second or so ago :)

Admittedly, mine that haven't are VeloSolexes...
