None of them are M.O.T failers.

Check strap is the door strap - and the seat not moving forward should be an MOT failure. The view is that the passenger could get in from the opposite side and sit in the back but in the event of speedy access required theres only one escape point.

I agree. If you fix it anyway rather than bodging it it will just make the car that bit better.
