Got my MOT soon and was wondering if i have to put the back seats, back in for it.
Have been told that it should be ok as lond as the rear seat belts are not there
Help would be great !

Aslong as the rear seatbelts arnt present when the rear seats arnt there they cant say anything

it will be ok as longs as:
the wheels do not foul the arches or any other components.
the springs dont fall out when the car is jacked up (cant see it happening tbh, but heard of it)

Surely if you get your car mot'd with only the fronts it means you wont be able to use those unitl you get it mot'd with all seats.

nothing wrong with the belts being there and having no seats.
it just means the tester cannot fail the seat belt if there is a fault with it.
as for the springs as said if they dont fall out then there ok

It doesn't get noted on the MOT certificate, so you can get away with it, which is odd TBH.

It's only a problem with the seats in but no belts IIRC

mine failed with stripped out rear because i had no rear belts fitted. as daft as it sounds u have to have rear seat belts fitted regardless of having seats or not

your mot certificate only proves your car is fit for use/safe on the day of testing, so you can put the rears back in the next day. Who's gonna know anyway?you're not gonna get pulled for having rear seats
