Zone A is 10mm, outside of zone A but within the swept area is 40mm.
Given that it can be seen from the drivers seat and is within the swept area, as far as I'm aware that's sufficient for it to fail. An example is those stick-on deep sun-strips that were common a few years back which fail if they encroach on the swept area despite not impeding immediate view of the road.
I don't believe the original damage would have been a failure as it was below the wiper blade and hence not in the swept area.
Tax disks, parking permits etc are all treated slightly differently btw and are allowed unless they "seriously restrict the drivers view"
