Just saw a youtube video of someone defrosting their car windows with a pipe from the exhaust. Sounds like a good idea.

Bucket of warm water is quicker.

I'd say slower. If you have the hose sat in the car anyway, just shove it on the exhaust and aim at the windows. No need to go inside, fill a bucket, pour it on, take the bucket back etc.

All that will do is coat the outside of windows with the residue of fuel
and oil. You will then have to get a bucket of water/detergent to wash
off the oily film.

Only on a diseased MOT failure

Unburnt hydrocarbons are an MOT failure.

A MOT is performed on a hot engine when the cat has had chance to warm up.

Defrosting of windows is normally only required when the engine/cat is cold.

No, there's a quantity allowed. My Range Rover which was petrol/LPG always failed on petrol, but the garage passed it using LPG. The certificate showed it emitted either 10 or 100 times less (cant remember which) of the limit for HC.

More fool you.

If you have the hose sat in the car anyway, just shove it on the exhaust
and aim at the windows. No need to go inside, fill a bucket, pour it on,
take the bucket back etc.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never tried it.

Nope, not with the time it takes to get the frost off the windows.

The "new labour" government has just announced that they are changing their party emblem from a red rose to a condom, as they believe it most accurately represents the governments political stance.
A condom stands up to inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks and gives you a false sense of security when you're actually being screwed.

Dut doesn't get the frost off anything like as quickly as a bucket of hot
water does.
