As far as I know as long as the seat belt is un damaged and the restriction works under a quick tug, then Mot wise it should be ok.

Sound like the grease / oil around the ball bearing are starting to become sticky, this can get worse at low temps this time of year, you could try a complete belt pull out and back a few times, and or with a hair drying heating up the main mech whilst your doing that, but to be honest whilst your stripping the covers off you might as well replace with a known good one.
