'deleting' Wing Mirror? Mot Issues/ Legality?

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

im thinking of removing my passenger side wing mirror and replacing it with a smoothed off plate, just wondering if anybody knows whether it would pass the mot with just one mirror and if its legal with just one. im pretty sure its fine for older cars so i cant see there being much of a problem unless there was a law introduced somewhere?

any help is appreciated as always

To pass an MOT you need a minimum of two mirrors, one of which must be the interior rearview mirror. So if you have the rearview + a drivers wing mirror then it should be fine.

But that won't stop it looking gash.

cant look quite as gash as the standard mirrors! quite like the smooth look anyway so i think i'll give it a go..... one day

you dont have to have an interior mirror, what about vans eh? but you DO have to have 2, so that means an inside and outside or 2 outside.

must minimum of 2 one of them has to be the drivers side wing mirror and then either other mirror

I knew one of them was mandatory, just picked the wrong one.

IIRC, Really early 205 XE models had a blankng plate on the passenger door instead of a mirror
