It mentions about the SRS components. Does this mean aftermarket steering wheels without airbags will fail?

Yeah if its not there you can't test it.
Spoke to an MOT tester today whilst the car was in for a service (SWR in Stirling). They confirmed that if they aint on the car then it's a pass - even if you just blank them off with a piece of tape. Happy days!
my 172 phase 1 exclusive went through to day, obviously had to change the cat over from the decat, but other than that the tester said it was one of the cleanest cars he has seen for its age., i suppose the mileage only being 43000.
My air bag light was on and i showed him that if i wiggle the wire under the drivers seat it goes of, he chuckled and said ok...
