This contrasts with 23% of those surveyed revealing they do check the condition of their wiper blades in readiness for an MOT, while 43% go ahead and change them in anticipation of the test.
Faulty and worn wiper blades rank as one of the most common reasons for a vehicle failing its MOT, though they are inexpensive and simple to replace.
