I think it depends how bad the crack/chip is and where, i know my mum has one on her passenger side which has been there for years and still passes the mot.

I think you mean Gavin from Autoglass

Oh, Mrs H .. tell the mum-in-law to avoid potholes then or she could be shelling out around £70-80 excess for a new screen!! Or avoid the heater directly on the screen in the winter ... that's when mine went!
#6: Re: Windscreen chips Author: Ben.M, Location: SuffolkPosted: Wed Jun 08, 2011 3:35 pm ---- I have about 3 chips across my screen and 1 in the drivers line of sight, it passed the MOT easily with just 1 advisory and that was for the driver side chip

They either damage your car OR dont even glue the windscreen in correctly
They also refuse to fit genuine glass & insist on fitting there Guardian crap

I used to detest them.
Phoned them up needing a new windscreen for my 206 GTi.
They quote me something like £750. I say that I've had a quote elsewhere of £550 and in a blink of an eye they drop the price to £650
But they fixed a chip in my windscreen for free & the guy that did it was alright
