    I had a Toyota that had the belts work this way. Had it for years and never failed an MOT on it.

    Had this in the mrs micra.


    pull the seat up and they were just twisted underneath?


    does the middle fit both?

    As stated probably lift the seats and look.


    I would think its an MOT fail as in the event of an accident cross seatbelts could release each others catches as they come together.

    Fit a child seat and they wont test it. You will get an advisory for it though.

    My current Toyota has this same arrangement which seemed a bit strange initially. Passed first M.O.T. last month.
    One of the clips, can't remember which, also requires the ignition key to release it and has "centre" embossed on it..
