I have a question...

Can a car fail an MOT on these things?

Nearside front seatbelt missing
Nearside front seat missing
Exhaust emissions Carbon Monoxide content excessive

The car was made in 1982 and has an engine from 1999 car.

I know it can fail on the seatbelt not being there if the seat is, but I don't see how having no passenger seat is a fail?

Anyone?

yeh if the seat isnt there it cant fail on the seat belt

if the engine is from a 1999 car then the emissions test will be carried out for the age of the engine not the age of the car

should do the emissions on an 82 not a 99 .. only time you test the emissons on the year of the engine is if the engine is older than the car

and no they shouldnt fail the seat/seatbelt if they are both removed

I think you can fail for not having side lights but not 100% on that

You can fail for no sidelights Chris, yeah.

I thought the same as you Myles, as far as I know, if the car is that old, it doesn't matter about the engine, but I'm no MOT tester, so I'm not sure

Seat - No, cant fail.
Seatbelt - only if the seats fitted
CO - i do belive you CAN fail for excessive CO content..

Chris

MOT is not tested backwards.

Reverse lights don't matter and neither does rear wiper

reverse lights aren't checked

sidelights : yes can fail for not having these

seat and seatbelt: if no part of the seat is there and there is no part of the seatbelt then this item cannot be tested so it cannot fail.

co content: if this is too high then yes they can fail the mot for this
