Don’t let worn wipers lead to MOT failure: HELLA reminds garages

HELLA is encouraging garages to prioritise checking wiper blades during every vehicle inspection. This simple service not only benefits customers by avoiding MOT failures, but also presents a sales opportunity for workshops.

“More MOTs are still taking place in the autumn than was the case before the pandemic,” said Ian Mattacola, Product Manager – Wipers at HELLA, “and worn-out windscreen wipers are still overlooked by drivers as a potential cause of MOT failure.”

Recent statistics show that 9.9 million UK vehicles failed their MOT test in 2023, with wiper issues being a common culprit.

“A quick wiper check could be the difference between a MOT pass and fail for a motorist,” said Ian.” If a technician spots a worn wiper, the garage can help the vehicle owner and make an additional sale at the same time.”

HELLA offers a comprehensive wiper blade range with 94 part numbers, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of vehicles. “Our wiper blades are easy to install, saving technicians time and enhancing customer service,” Ian adds.

HELLA’s wiper program encompasses various blade types, including aerodynamic flat blades, rear wiper options, and hybrid wipers. This selection caters to garages that prioritise quick selection and efficient installation.
