F--king rock hit my window today, not far from the top on the driver side. Its inline with where the mirror sits so is it an MOT failure?

I can afford a new screen but how much is it likely to cost and who should I use? I'm not fully comp.

What if I got one from a scrappy?

Please help

Autoglass's presentation thingy on what type of crack they can repair says mine would be fine to repair, between £62 and £82

if its more than 10mm and with in the driver few then its a mot fail. the driver few is about 8inch each side of the steering wheel. all the way from top to bottom.

National Windscreens are fitting a new screen on saturday morning for £136 I need a new screen as theres a 5 inch scratch appeared on it too. Nevermind.

I think National Windscreens did my Corsa's window too, very good work.

Also: they quoted £52 to repair it, when Autoglass say between £62 and £82 so Nathional Windscreens are prefered
