Trip to Halfords time,buy a cheap stick on, think it can fail cause its broke. better to replace it anyway, cheaper than a retest  :wink:

Agreed it will fail mot on a cracked mirror, you can either get a stick on over the top of the cracked glass, or a replacement one that will clip in, in place of the original, depends if you have heated mirrors or not

testers discretion as to whether it impairs rear view,
Depends if it is a single crack,multiple crack, whether he argued with SWMBO that morning etc,
Not worth the chance, it needs changing anyway  :wink:

recently got 2 new manual wing mirrors from cannocks, and they charged me £40 for the pasenger side and £60 for the drivers! :x  :x  :cry:  grrrr. then someone thought it would be funny to nick my drivers side mirror! :x  :x  so i went looking for the inner mirror bits, but i couldnt find it anywhere! so i had a spare from the other side, flipped it, put a screw in it, then pasted a new mirror glass in. finally got it sorted.
good luck sorting it!

It wont fail will it?  As far as I am aware you need to have the drivers one and then either the rear view or the passsenger one.  A cracked passenger one should be an advisory item.  

I am not 100% sure, only 99% :D
