M.O.T and reversed rear seats.

Post by Seamus » Mon May 04, 2009 9:03 am

It's coming up for MOT time and I am concerned that because my rear seat are reversed it may fail because the tester won't be able to check out the seat belts. Does anyone know the score on this?

According to reports rear facing seats do not need belts

Thanks for that, should I remove the seat belt mechanism? Some testers gave the mentality of if they are fitted then they must be shown to work.

just shove the seatbelts through the holes in the seat out of the way, if he can't see them he can't test them. Or fit lapbelts.
