I knocked the mirror part out of my passengers side mirror about 3 years ago, and have had the mirror held in by scotch tape in, has never fallen out, not even in car washes & it has never failed a warrant because of it.... I'm pretty sure if your car was made with both side mirrors, then both side mirrors must be functional...

you only need the inside rear vision mirror to pass a WOF unless you have tinted windows then you need both side mirrors aswell.

As long as you have one rear view mirror unobstructed that you can see clearly behind you with, it's legal.
