MOTs... Are they really culling older diesel cars?

You and I obviously think differently about why people use seat belts :mad:

Probably doesn't affect other road-users safety if one of the rear seatbelts doesn't work whereas brakes not working, no lights, wheels about to fall off, bald tyres in the wet etc., might

My car had its MOT done today, it failed. But strangly they put as a advisory the rear seatbelts, which they could not check because the seats were down at the back. To my commom-sense, either they test them or its a fail.

The tester will test the car as it has been presented. It really is that simple. If seats are folded then the tester cannot test the belts to the correct procedure. Any half decent tester is going to advise as such.

Is there is a leak in your washer fluid reservoir, if you need to carry a 2l bottle and ran out between house and garage? Are you getting that fixed or just making sure it gets topped up before the test next year too?

Is a passenger "another road user"?

Doesn't matter, the law should be just as concerned with their safety as with anyone else's.

Drums are tricky?

I'd go somewhere else if the mechanic told me that.

In comparison to discs they are a little bit trickier, but they're not remotely hard.
