Free under your insurance? Phone them up and find out, it shouldn't affect your no claims.

Apart from what others have said, where is the crack and how big is it?

About a inch and 2-3 above drivers position

I had one fitted to my corsa the other week £98inc VAT for the Plain Glass £124 if I would like a tint...

Definitely needs replacing at least by the next MOT.

yes, but a corsa screen is glued in, an old Orion is a rubber jobbie and is very much cheaper.

Or maybe not.

My last car went through 2 MOTs at different stations with a very visible stone chip about 1 inch above the driver eye position. Chip was about 1/2 inch in all including cracks.

I expected it to fail but thought I'd chance it (much like I thought I'd chance driving round for two years with a bloody great chip in my line of vision), it didn't fail and was still there when I sold the car.

Still.. wouldn't have cost much to fix.

As you say it probably deepends on the MOTer. I thought (but I may be wrong) that there was some sort of rule about where cracks and chips were. Something about drivers line of sight IIRC.

in front of the driver, centred on the wheel and 18 inches across there should be no damage larger than 10mm, rest of the screen 40mm in the swept wiper area (from memory)
