as i am a newb is this a fail on the mot?
also upgraded rear reg plate bulbs but 1 is flickering although its 6 smd led will this cause a fail?

Headlight wipers don't come into the MOT, nether does the rear wiper. The only time you need to worry about headlight wash is if you have factory Hids or Xenons but they usually just have a wash function, no wipe.
The normally wipe and wash every time you wash the windscreen. I have heard of some only wiping after x-number of screen washes but I don't know if Volvo do than or not.
sometimes those headlight wipers only work if u hold the stalk for more than 5 seconds- try that, it would be wierd for both to have gone, unless somebody unplugged them.
i havnt got the wipers on mine but the headlight washers squirt on the 1 in every 5 times you use the washers for windscreenQuote:

on your car they are also set not to work if the water level is below a 1/4, to conserve it because it uses so much to do the headlights.Quote:

Headlight washer is tee'd off the windscreen washer pipe on early P2 cars mate, not sure about the facelift models tho.Quote:
