Mind you my Grandson had an argument with his College lecturere about seat belts and the MOT, the lecturer was adamant every vehicle has to have seatbelts or no MOT, he argued pre64 don't need them as not built or designed for them !!
Grandson is going in with a mate in his 1950 Series One with no seatbelts and his current legal MOT !!!!!

An addendum to that is the requirement for rear seatbelts, these were only needed from 1986 onwards.
My 1986 SD1 has no rear belts, never has had and I bought it nearly new from a dealer.

Which poses another question, how many MOT fail items actually apply to older cars like ours :-k

This could open out to be one mother of a can of worms for a start wipers can't be failed as long as they park where they should ,if it means you have to turn them of yourself to get them there then who cares (pass and advise!) your cut in your tyre as long as it is not showing any cords then (pass and advise)and as for brake pipe's well unless you think that the pipes is corroded to 50 percent of the outer wall you can't fail it (oh and if they did a brake test then they had no reason to faiil your pipe's) sort of contradict's what they failed it on? after all it's down to individule tester's........ring the vosa helpline on the back of your certificate and ask advice??

i may be missing the point but if your wipers are designed to self park and don't why are you moaning when you are told to fix them?
