[Jaguartvr]

I know if an airbag light is on it is a fail, you can remove the bulb an this will result in a pass. I had presumed that if you swap a steering wheel with a non airbag version and removed the bulb it would pass but I was advised by my MOT tester that it would fail.
If a car was fitted with an airbag it must be present or immediate fail.

No Airbags

Q can airbags be removed from a car that does sprint/track days now and then but also be a road car and the steering wheel replaced with a non airbag wheel, and what about jap imports that have had the system removed before it came to the uk

A
No, the vehicle must have airbags fitted if they were in the original manufacturers specifications for the vehicle, and they have to be fully working
