    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..
