Fixed Bucket Seats

Hi

Is an MOT fail if buckets seats are fixed without slider rails.

Thanks

I wouldn't have thought so.my minis all had fixed buckets and they passed. Only thing they didn't like were racing harnesses as they said you had to be able to put seatbelt on one handed. So I used to have both fitted. Best ask someone who mots though

No it's not my car has fixed seats and quite a few people I know also have fixed seats and passed mots ok
It's not a requirement for the tester to drive your car

Couple of testers on here do they will know if they see this. Don't forget with our cars they do drive them for Brake test unless they have 4 wheel rollers

Yes but you can ask to drive it

So you shouldn't put them on the brake rollers unless it's a 4 wheel tester??? Mine did it on a two wheel tester.....

Your mot tester should know better really

Defo should know better than put it on a 2 wheel tester .... they should do it with either a 4 wheel or a decelorameter
Have you got the rear seats stripped out ? .... my thinking is how will they check rear seat belts ???

Yer back of the car is completely stripped out.

One of my mates had it all stripped out but the tester insisted on having rear seatbelt in it as it was registered as a 5 seater ...

A few years ago mine failed omnbroken rear belts the tester told me to take seats out then he'd retest it

No wonder thing keep breaking, shouldnt even be possible as your rear wheels will drive forwards

My mot tester done the same

I always make a point of telling my mot tester to take it on the road braking test. Even tho he knows me and the car.
When I first started taking my pulsars to him I would drive the car and he would sit in the passenger seat with his dumbell looking gauge..
He has an assistant these days lol

Moved this to the general discussion section as it was in the for sale section? Lol
