Mine moved about have an inch and it failed. Its a fail because if theres play in the seat then its likely, after time the holding mechanism will get damaged and possibly perish and if your in an accident with a seat thats not secure, you go forward because of momentum and so does the seat. Sort of like a sandwich between the seatbelt, you and the seat.

However. Ive had it like that for about 3 years and its never been pulled up before. But it is a fail.

How has it been like it for three years if its an MOT failure?

ye thats logical, did your seat or did you ever feel you seat move whilst driving?

truthfully i do drive like a prat most of the time and i do brake quite late and ive never felt my seat move whilst im in it.....suppose it would be diffrent if i went into the back of a lorry or something

how did you solve yours?

ive got a back seat and it does get used, so i do kinder need my seat to move forward so welding it isnt really an option.

Don't want to sound annoying, but if you know you drive like a prat, why continue?

If it is an MOT failure, it is an MOT failure for a reason, and I would personally fix it properly rather than putting a bit of wood under it!

Just my opinion...
