It will only fail the MOT if the seat belts are left in. I never bother letting the insurance know or anything.

Tell insurance the rear seats have been removed, chances are they won't be bothered but better safe than sorry.

You're supposed to change the logbook but it's never likely to cause any problems. I've never had to show my logbook to anyone so who's going to get onto the fact it's not right.

In regards to MOT, they don't know what it says on the logbook, they just test what's present so if there's no seats and no seatbelts, there's nothing to test. Keeping the seatbelts without the seats is an MOT fail though so they need to be removed.
