Are they bench seats ? if so they should pass.

I would remove the seats.

You only need an offside rear fog light, imports Surfs ect always have one fitted as part of the import procedure and MOT (Though those that go off road rapidly get them ripped off) :lol:

1. It has 2 rear fog lights but only the offside one works, is this acceptable as I'm sure I read somewhere that you only need one on the O/S.

The inspection of rear fog lamps is confined to the one rear fog lamp which is required to be fitted to the centre or offside of vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1980.

Not tested


--- Quote from: "marjan" ---3. It has rear seats in for my dog but no seatbelts, will I have to take the rear seats out for the test?.
--- End quote ---


Rather more complicated but if the vehicle was originally fitted with seat belts then they have to be present. If I read the manual correctly, removing the seats removes the requirement to have the belts fitted.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I have disconnected the left hand fog lamp and painted the red lense black to match the bumper. The rear seats will be coming out the day before the test. Just hope it doesn't cost as much as it did last year - £530  :(  :cry:  :cry:
