The housing of the passenger side wing mirror is smashed. The mirror itself is fine, not smashed at all and the mirror is still fully adjustable. its just the housing that is smashed. it looks awful but the wing mirror is still as usable as it was.

Will my car fail its forthcoming MOT because of the smashed wing mirror housing or will it be OK?

thanks

Look at the damage to the mirror housing and put some heavy duty tape over and round it to remove the sharp edges. If the indicator repeater is also fitted in the mirror housing, then that lamp must be fitted, posiitoned correctly, and seeable down the side of the vehicle. A pass and advise should be the result.

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.
