seatbelts for insurance and MOT purpose.

Vehicle before 1984 - I suspect a tester would not bother about seatbelts in
the rear - however if vehicle is after 1984 you need at least lapbelts.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm prity sure side facing rear seats don't need
a seat belt even after 1984... Toby

And what might a tester say about a rearward facing second row seat like I
have put in ?

To be honest I don't think anyone cares at all anymore than if you put a
deckchair in the back of a transit, at least I hope not, it's not really
meant for sitting on whilst travelling as it hides the toilet underneath

Hello All.
Thanks for the info everyone. I got an email from an ex MOT
Tester. He mentioned to put them in and just say they where in as new.
As to the seatbelts your only obliged to have them in before 1988.
