My zed had a failed MOT on Thursday

Under Major Defects! - seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced

Nearside Front (floor pan) MOT report.

My problem is this ! My seatbelt anchorage is not on the floorpan!

So, I took the front Nearside seat out which is good 👍

What advice can you give?

Have you asked the tester for clarification?

So has the anchorage become corroded or detached itself somehow - and has it happened since your last MOT?

I can see your logic in removing the passenger seat though - no seat = no need for seat belt🤣

I presume it's a matter of some welding, do you have pics to share?

......Then again, mindful your Zed is a JDM, are your seat belts in the doors - and the tester just hasn't noticed🤪

Hi all, yes went back to tester for some clarification.

Took it to my car repair specialist who took the carpet up.

It appears the foot pan has 4 anchorage points for the seat.

& they need welding

My carpet was wet - it had rained heavy the night before, it has been in the garage for the past couple of months.

I’m thinking my targa drain has shrunk & come away from the outlet which I will check when I get the Z back.

This could be the reason of my floor pan issues.
