I think you can pass MOT without rear seats as long as you have removed all the seatbelt fittings aswell.

As longs as your springs are not loose when the car is jacked up you will be fine. As for the rear seats... I do know that if you inform VOSA and say it is now a 2 seater then it will be absolutely fine for MOT...but as for not informing them first...I do not know.

best bet is to put them back in then?

Yeah you gotta remove belts n buckles too. If it's MOT'd without seats, you can't put em back in!

and he screwed his seats through the floor and bolted from the underside of his car an didn fail the MOT lol

Honestly...it would be less hassle to just put the seats back in for the MOT.

What's stopping you?
They don't mark the MOT sheet.

MOT's: generally, if it aint there they cannot test it.

yea as above! no rear seats and buckles = mot pass (providing the rest of the car is ok

)
