1. Nope

2. No/Yes if the vehicle has rear seats and is after 1988(?)

My kit car normally gets MOT'd with 2 seats and 6 belts.

so i need rear seat belts even if i dont have rear seat?

No

You only need rear seat belts if you got rear seats. Otherwise it doesnt matter.

cheers :thumbsup:

Rear wiper shouldn't matter. Alot of cars don't even have them! Saloon cars etc.

the only other thing i was worried about is how much life are left in my brake pads, cos i haven't got round to fitting my g40 brake setup yet.

i was looking at the mot check's link in the faq's and it says brake pads must be at least 1.5mm thick. That sounds damn thin to me, i wouldn't let mine get anywhere near that. Can that really be right or have i miss-understood?

That's 1.5mm of friction material.

Really, really, do not let them get that low.
