If a car isn't of retailable standard, we won't sell it, we're not a private sale and try to hide something.
Ref the M.O.T of the airbag.
I have spoken to our M.O.T tester and clarified the airbag quiery for you. To fail the airbag has to:
(a) An airbag fitted as original equipment obviously missing Major
(b) Not in use
(c) An airbag obviously inoperative Major
As you can probably see from numerous photos of the dash, the airbag isn't "obviously" missing( no wires hanging out, SRS symbols, stickers, badges or any pointers saying it was there), it also isn't "obviously" inoperative as there is no signs or lights on. An M.O.T tester's job is see what is infront of them, they don't have to research what spec a car originally came with. So on that front, it's a pass.
The plates however would be a fail if presented to a tester. We would make Berrybrook branded plates and fit them before a test so it passses.
I hope this answers the question. If anyone is interested in the car, please pop in, phone or email me.
