    MOT with stripped car

    Whats the score with stripping the rear of my car before the MOT?

    Got my MOT on Friday, but want to strip my rear seats out and build a small boot install before then as I only have 2 days off work.

    Will my car fail the MOT if I remove the rear seats?

    no the car wont fail the MOT for no rear seats, its classed as a PLG (Private, Light goods) meaning it can be used for normal everyday usage or as a light van...which of course would have no rear seats (or belts)

    I THINK you will find it's the other way round. if you have rear seats fitted, you must have seatbelts - this is from experince!

    Thats true but if you dont have any rear seats and leave your seat belts in they CAN fail you. Obviously like all MOT tests it depends who/where you get it tested.

    if you have rear seats but you use the monts for the harnesses and have removed the rear seat belts is this still a failer?

    because i cant get people in the back and i cant sort out my rear belts as i cant get them to pull out
