Does seat need to be able to move to pass MOT?

[DrR]

Done the washer removing mod while back, this means seats doesn't move forward/backwards, will car fail MOT because of this?

Cheers.

 

[Daniel]

nope. IT might do in january though! (serious)

 

[ch!ppen]

Wtf is the washer removing mod? Lol

 

[JackJack]

Washers under the seats, take them out and the seats are a bit lower.

OP as Daniel said.

 

[DrR]

Crap, oh well only a slight pain in the arse, just hope the MOT guy doesn't notice.

I asked my Mot man about this, if there's a mechanism it must work. Fixed buckets are fine.

 

[dmallett]

I hope thats true !

When I did the washer mod the seats still moved if forced.

 

[Ian_s]

I hope thats true !

Its down to the interpretation. We were reading through the changes, 2 Mot guys and me, we all read it differently.

 

[DrR]

Bumping this up, as want more opinions.

Take it in for the MOT early (You have a month prior IIRC), if it fails sort it? It doesn't matter if 99% of the opinions you get on here is what you want to hear, if that MOT bloke says no, then it's a no!

this has really brightened my day, i was worried how my fixed buckets would be seen my an MOT tester!!
im guessing this is the same story for harnesses and such?!

 

[PP200t]

Iirc harnesses will fail as the car should have seatbelts?

 

[JackJack]

Harnesses should pass.
