Hi guys

just recently changed my landy from hard top van to truck cab and later this month i am going to get it mot'd and need to know if i need a rear view mirror as when i had the van roof i didn't have a rear view mirror as it is not needed in a van but not sure with a truck cab any ideas.

Nope.

For an MOT you need two mirrors. One must be the drivers one, the other can be either a passenger, a rear view, or both.

My mondeo only has wing mirrors fot the past 3 years or so as I got fed up sticking the bloomin' thing back on!


HTH!

Actually, a quick check and it's even looser than that...

Passenger vehicles with no more than 7 passenger seats first used before 1 August 1978 must have any one of the above options.
