Windscreen Sprayer jets - MOT Fail?

If enough water hits the screen to clear it then its a pass

Agreed with the others but it does have to hit the screen.
But why not clear the jets out? Chances are a bit of a probe with a pin or a blowgun will give you better washers.

Maybe if a tester says the liquid must hit the screen (swept area) to pass that might be a little too OTT. A good few years ago I had a vehicle where the windscreen washer jets were aiming such that the liquid overshot the screen and over the roof. At that time I thought that was a fail but my then VE advised me to flick the washers switch on and off to allow the liquid to wet the screen. he then said if it does that and the screen can be cleared pass and advise.  

Hey Guys

Thanks for all the responses. I have to say this forum is one of the most helpful on. Sp appreciate it all. I did try clear them out but no luck hence why i put up the question as worried it was something more serious, but i tried a few more times and it cleared. But still learnt alot. Thank you. Im sure ill have more questions soon enough lol.
