all depends on the tester that does the MOT. some will pass and some will fail. although in theory, they should all fail cos of the distance the weakness is from the anchor point for the seatbelt

When i first got my corsa 2 yr ago from the vaux dealer they were cracked an i didn't notice. Spotted it a little after an took it back an the mechanic said he had to put a concrete block in or sumthin but it was covered under warranty, an apparently it was a common fault

that price is cheap, vauxhall will wanna charge more like £250 a side!!!!, no problems, they just get bigger more noticible and in time rust, if they get too big the mot tester might spot them

i got mines welded up but as soon as u do that the crack above or below the weld! the only way to get round this is to cut away and weld a new plate in apparantly! not sure how true it is!

It's an MOT fail due to being too close to the mounting point for the original seatbelts (within 30cm i think).



By the looks of it though, you dont use that mounting point anyway .
