If it doesn't affect the view of THE ROAD(the actual road itself ) then it want fail MOT . Regardless of the swept area of the blades.

The bit of screen that's subject to the test is surprisingly small. It's upper and lower limits are the swept area of the wipers, but sideways it's just 145mm each side of an imaginary line directly in front of the centre of the steering wheel.
