From the testers manual you must have the obligatory mirrors which are -

I think its more or less up to the tester to be honest ask yours to see if he will pass it or not because of that, i have had many bikes pass their mot's with no mirrors Thumbs Up

I have also sucessfully MOTed numerous bikes with missing or no mirrors.

Hi

Might have changed, but in the online copy of the bike MOT test manual there is no mention of mirrors at all, nor does any site I can find. There have been plenty of bikes sold new in the UK with only a single mirror which should fail the MOT according to those rules (eg, my first bike).

All the best
