Thumbs down HIJACK

Sorry to Hijack the thread but my pup chewed half way through the middle seatbelt in the back of my wagon. Can't complain because this is the only think that he has chewed!

This belt isn't used but will it fail an MOT?

Cheers in advance.

It will..

Unless you remove it and the associated clasp..The centre belt is the only one that you can "get away with".

I had a ford cougar go through an MOT in november with a cracked (3 seperate pieces) drivers wing mirror with only an advisement given- as long as the image is not distorted, it should be fine.
