Default s2 m.o.t failed

My series 2 failed on needing two new side light bulbs a rear lamp earthing out, a headlamp not in good working order adversely affected beam which ive sorted all this with new bulbs and new rear bulb holders.
two last things thoe ive still go no reverse parking lamp and my offside rear mechanical component has restricted free movement so Ive adjusted the shoes and it seems fine but i had this on the last years m.o.t. too any clues.Also which was not on the mot refusal was that i just took the abs sensors out and i was supprised to only find one belt.What shall i do fit a new one of cut the other.I must have been driving it like this for the past three years.cheers

Get rid of the ABS mate, it caused me nothing but trouble on mine, kicking in at the slightest sniff of pedal pressue. I tried everything to resolve it but i just ended up binning the lot & uprating the brakes instead.

Wrong if there are no rear seats then you dont need the belts (you could leave the belts in and they still would not be testable)

Reverse lights are not part of the test. What was the problem with the rear seats and belts?
