Will this fail the MOT

[kerry-w]

Pretty stupid question I think, but currently the car has 3 Dynamique alloys and 1 15" steel.

All wheels and tyres and same size etc, this wouldnt cause MOT failiure would it?

Would I also need a spare wheel which has decent tread left in the boot for the MOT

Thanks

as long as they all have good tread ull be fine

and no u dont need a spare

 

[Bluebeard]

Take the spare out. If theres no spare, theres nothing to test!

Nope that'll be fine, also if your spare wheel has crap tread take it out, if it's not there they can't test it.

 

[kerry-w]

Ahhh great

The steel thats on is the spare I think so I was wonding if I actually needed another spare in there :rasp:

Also I know the car will fail on the back belts, would I be able to fold seats down so they technically would check them? Or would I need to take out back seats and belts completely?

you cant take them out as the car is MOTd as a 2 seater or a 4/5 seater car.

If you remove them the car is only MOTd as a 2 seater

Ahh balls, guess ill have to get the belts fixed before the test then

yes as long as the size is the same, spare wheel in boot cant ever fail, its only an advisory item

This isn't a bait, but where on an MOT certificate does it state that a car is a 2/3/4/5 seater??

Hmmm thinking about it thats a good point, would double check if I could find my MOT cert for the PH1 but I seem to have mis placed it

im not making it up i promise mate thats the truth

if the car came into me with no rear seatbelts and no rear bench then it cant fail as theres nothing to test, i could pass a car without a windscreen ffs.

Ha ha, what about rear belts in but not bench or clips for the belts to go into?

 

[Alastair.]

i think i can fail it but dont quote me on that, would have to look it up

Ahh right, if I have to take off the belts to pass it then I mayaswel replace them with the good ones at the same time and not bother taking the bench out then

 

[OFFROADNICK]

if belts are fitted but clips are removed that would be a fail cause if its there its got to work . have just checked my mot certificate it does not say anything about the number of seats/belts apart from if you had more than 8 seats fitted i.e a minibus

the spare wheel is not a testable item even if its in the car at time of test.

for the rear seat belts if you remove the rear seats then the seat belts are no longer a testable item.
if you fold the seats down the seat belts are still a testsable item.

I have actually done this. I removed the back seats after it failed due to a tiny, tiny fray in the seatbelt, i took it back and it passed. There is NO MENTION of the number of seats, nor the fact that i removed them. Spare wheel situation is - NO WHEEL - NO FAIL. This is fact
