MOT-ness of stripped interior
Hi
To all the lads that run stripped and caged interiors without the back seats in, how do you go on at MOT time? If the cars registered as a 4 seater will it fail if the rear bench and seatbelts aren't present?
Any help massively appreciated!

Like if you've got a wheel nut missing, stick a wheel trim on and there not allowed to remove it to check.

Reminds me of a motor a mate bought a few years back that had wheel trims on. We used it to go back n forth from essex to Surrey until one day on the A12 it got a little hectic! When we took the trims off and found each wheel only had two out of four nuts on.

Reminds me of a story an MOT station owner told me when I asked about whats required for an MOT. He had a friend who needed to transfer a reg from an old car, but of course it had to have an MOT, and them being honest folk where going to have to get it through a proper MOT. The car was structually sound but very tatty and the electrics had seen better days...
I cant rem what car it was, might have been a mini or something similar, but any ways,
they stripped the interior only leaving the drivers seat and belt
removed the windscreen so that the wipers and wash did not have to be tested
Removed the indicators and declared hand signals only
removed the lights and again declared day time running only
Got the brake lights working though
I think he said they had to re-pipe some of the brake lines but they got it to pass the MOT, transferred the plate then scrapped the car

just asked at the MOT station, as long as there are no seatbelts the car is classed as not having seats in that location, and so they're not tested
thanx for replies!!!!
