Title: speedo
Post by: volksrod brian on September 11, 2014, 12:20:05 PM
After a bit of investigation I worked out my speedo is no more. Unfortunately my MOT has also ran out.
Can anyone tell me if the speedo is party of the MOT.
All the warning lights work just the speedo bit is broken.
Thanks

I think speedo is part of the MOT but you MAY get away with a satnav on your screen if it shows speed, sure someone who knows will be along soon.
Have you whipped the front left wheel off and made sure the circlip is holding the end of the cable in place?

The circlip was part of the investigation. It had come off but I also took the cable of the end of speedo and it turned when moving. Reconnected the cable and nothing so I think I may need another speedo :(

I have a VDO speedo in mine, which is not calibrated, its fully connected, just not calibrated and they have not queried the operation of my speedo during MOT tests.
Hope that helps.

Checking the speedo works is not part of the mot just that is has to have working lights so you can see it does not work at night.
If the milometer reads more than last years mot you will be fine.
