as long as it doesnt obstruct your view

If it's in your view then probably, otherwise maybe not.
Just put it through anyway*.








*it will probably fail on something else too :P

Have a look at the NCT handbook online; it has a fairly detailed description of what kind of a chip will fail.

I fail to see any issues, the wipers look in great condition.

Give Autoglass a ring for a repair quote, they can usually repair chips, especially if it's in the middle of the screen. How big is it? Would a €2 coin cover it?

i say just about €1 coin would cover it is that ok ...going to sell the car after xmas so don`t really want to spend money on it ..tight arss lol

I'd say stick it through the NCT as is, might fit the dimensions to pass and if not it's a visual fail so free retest.

Thank you very much... i will report back

Sure just sellotape a €1 coin either side of the glass so that the tester can't see the crack.

Sorry to hijack but does anyone know if a damaged splash-guard under the car will cause any problems with the NCT. It's pretty bad; mainly being held on by cable ties at this stage and there might even be a bit if twine in one spot! Not dangerous or hanging down or anything; just wondering if anyone knows if it might cause a problem?

I would take it off.
My golf passed with it removed totally. I think anything "hanging down" would be a fail.
