Well, at least one person got it right!
Whilst it is illegal to drive on the road without an operating speedo, speedometer function is NOT part of the United Kingdom M.O.T. test.
The link below shows the full list of items that are checked -

Actually no. The MOT is a check of the vehicle safety systems and general roadworthiness, brakes lights horn wheel bearings suspension etc. On most bikes the speedo cable runs off the front wheel which only turns very slowly on the roller brake tester, not enough to register on the speedo anyway. And if your mileage has increased from the date the last certificate was entered, the tester wont know if the speedo works or not.

on the same time because it extremely is a criminal requirement it extremely is only no longer area of the MoT try so, for the purpose of the MoT, you haven't any longer have been given something to tension approximately. If a copper properly-knownshows out then they might supply you with a motor vehicle illness Rectification be conscious (VDRN) which might require you to restoration it interior 14 days and get an MoT station to comfirm in writing which you have performed which you will could pay for.

yep, definitely... get it sorted (or replaced) before you take it for mot, you'll save a bunch.
replacing a speedo is quite simple, you can find loads of online help, just type "how do i replace speedo on [make/model]" into google to find a guide on how to do it, or obtain a copy of the haines manual for your bike...

Part of a safety check is to ensure that you can measure how fast you are going so as to remain within the speed limit which are safety regulation.
