    By back windscreen wipers are quiet noisy and screeching at the moment, do I need to replace them before sitting a driving test?

    If Tyres have been replaced a couple of months ago do they need to be replace if they ever bumped or mounted kerbs? Once they have normal pressure and 1.6mm they should be ok for the test?

    My brakes were replaced a few months ago so they should be fine.

    Everything else is working fine like my lights and secondary controls.

    Re the tyres, you should be replacing them if there's any bulges on the sidewall from kerbing. This should be done on the basis that the tyre could blow out while you're driving and is dangerous, rather than because the tester might fail you.

    Everybody wallops off kerbs from time to time, usually there's no damage done, but it's definitely worth checking the condition of the tyres regularly. I had one blow out on the motorway at 120k last year and it's scary stuff.

    A rear wiper blade is only a few quid in most cases, worth it to get rid of the horrible noise, I don't think they'd fail you on it though.
