Not all of that is true plus how do you no the air bags working correctly my are bag light dont work so is that a pass or fail?

During an mot your are not allowed to remove any thing ie trims covers etc so
1 you cant check bulbs are fitted correctly
2 you can check pas fluid due to not being able to remove the cap unless its a clear bottle
3 head light adjusters aply to hid and led lights only

And theres alot more than this any way i will post pics of new bits in the mot later when im at home

But the bulb failing (or missing) means it will not light up during the self test when the ignition is turned on.

So your Airbag light would fail due to its absense on turn on would be my interpretation????

I also noticed a bit about seat adjustment. Does this mean fixed seats might not pass?? if they are not original??
