Hi
Its a grey area to be honest and seems to be at the disgression of the MOT tester. If you remove the airbag, controller and warning light bulb it should not. If its fitted it must work.
However most MOT testers understand that you have made the decision to remove it and take the responsibility for what may happen if it is not there in the event of a serious collision, then it's on your head (forgive the pun)
Luckily our local tester assumes the vehicle will have no airbag and never mentions it. This seems to be the majority.
However if you get a 'jobs worth' then take it elsewhere.
If you cannot sleep at night then leave it on but they are ugly.
