Hi. I've got a 1.4sx Bravo due to MOT v shortly. The rear wiper is dead. I've tested the circuit and that seems to be fine so I know its the motor thats gone.

Can a faulty rear wiper cause an MOT failure?
 
no,

not unless you remove it completely, but then there is still the stalk to work it so I uess your buggered regardless :(

The rear wiper is not tested on the MOT, as it does not effect your field of vision unless you drive backwards of course! :)
 
Yay!! Fixed it.

£30 for the motor, 2 trips to the same scrapyard, a toilet roll tube and now she wipes like a dream. Valerie Singleton would be proud of me.

Seems like some of the local darlings have tried to prise the boot open - never noticed the very slight deformation on the outside - and caused the all important 2nd finger not to contact with the plate on the body.

Solution: I cut a couple of U-shaped bits of card, wedged it under the left side of both contact plates, and bingo, it works.
