The MOT is due on the Smart ..... just tried to tax it & realised it runs out the day before the tax is due so unable to renew till it's been re-MOT'd. I'm leak chasing at the moment so have all the carpets out & just one seat (driver's ::) ) fitted.
Q ..... does it need both seats fitted to be MOTable? :-\ :-\ :-\

Nope - AFAIK, they wont check the seatbelt that side of no seat fitted. Possibly end up with it listed under advisories.

That's what I was thinking. It might just be easier to fit it for the sake of for four mounting bolts & a seat belt anchor bolt :y

They only test the seats that are presented at time of test,ie a Renault espace with all the rear sets removed will only have the front two seats and belts checked with an advisory for the missing seats,same with a child seat fitted as the tester is not allowed to test the belt on that seat :y

Thanks Henry. Thinking about it, when he's tested my Merc, he leaves the third row seats as they are ie stowed away.
It's booked for this afternoon ....... a number plate light to sort out first. :y
