Posted April 11, 20232 yr Hi all, new member here. Have any of you had an MOT failure for rear nearside passenger seat having too much play in the upright position? Have owned the car for 6 years and not used the fold down function at all, same MOT station too.
April 14, 20232 yr The seat shouldn't be an issue unless it is vastly different to the seat the other side. The seatbelt is secured to the floor and that is what is retaining the passenger but the seat back should also be secure so maybe not latched in properly?
April 15, 20232 yr Author Thanks Trevor, the seat back has about an inch of play when latched. Mot tester has stated this is a dangerous fault and car should not be driven till fixed. I am about to take it apart to find the cause.
April 15, 20232 yr Author Happy to report problem is fixed. Just two loose bolts, hey presto, sorted.
April 17, 20232 yr Glad it was a simple fix and now secured Goodness knows how the tester would get on with an early Land Rover seats 🙂
