And OK Lee, depends who does it, but then I tend to get mine done by a legit and honest tester! And if you get it down BEFORE April, it will pass and you have another year to worry about it!
End of the day a MOT is pointless anyway, as soon as you drive out of the garage it is not relevant, you could get stopped by VOSA on the way home, fail and have your car impounded. So waste of £40 anyway.

Well i just checked mot testing and they dont check the airbag system and u can have a steerin wheel without a airbag they just check it secure and wont hurt the drivers hands when in use
Do what you like, you have been warned, end of the day it wont be my face smashing in to the steering wheel due to a lack of airbag in the event of an accident.

If its not there then they will fail it straight away, simple
If its not there then they will fail it straight away, simple
so everyone with after market steering wheels that have no air bag will fail?
the law should be if its there it has to work and if not fitted with one then no need to test
its the same with roll cages tho that have no seat belts fitted in the back when they are ment to be there
You could always write to your MEP, if you don't agree with the law.
Maybe not for much longer

#27: Re: Steering wheel airbag ? Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Tue Dec 20, 2011 2:45 am ---- I think its pretty simple guys, from April 2012 whatever the car left the factory with it has to have it at the next MOT regardless as to whether the car has been modded or not, SIMPLES as those pesky meerkats say!!
I have to fit the standard exhaust can and number plate back onto my GSX-R750 for it to pass the MOT so why do petrol heads think they should be any different?
The law is the law so abide by it or face an MOT fail !!!!!
Rant over.

#30: Re: Steering wheel airbag ? Author: twitch169, Location: lincolnPosted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 3:33 am ---- I have a 2002 clio expression 1.2, 16v. The passengers side airbag in the seat was triggered before I bought the car. I have to MOT the car in January and want to know what the regulations are for airbags which have been set off. The airbag light on the dash is on permanently as a result although the other 3 airbags were not triggered. Will this cause a fail on the MOT test? Hi there. When I turn the ignition on my airbag light comes on but also stays on until I turn the engine off. The airbag light staying on, is this an M.O.T. failure? Thanks Neil
There are no checks at all on airbags as part of the MOT Test. MOTT.
