Hi I have a 2001 Coachmen Mirada which i have been to MOT at local VOSA station but they failed it for nothing other than front seatbelts being incorrect type as they are saying lapbelts are illegal and must be 3 point ones but i have been told by american rv dealers that lap belts for driver and front seat passeneger are ok and should pass mot, does anyone have experience of this or more importantly know the regulations well enough to get me out of this hole. I now have an rv which as far as vosa is concerned is ok in all other respects but is now off the road. Before anyone suggests me going to the rv dealer who said lap belts are ok, I went all the way to Wolverhampton from Kent 2 days later to get MOT and unlike vosa they found enough (highly questionable ! but no surprise as commercial garage) things wrong that it would have cost me in excess of £1000 to get through and wait a week for parts. Anyone that can help with these regulations then please let me know i'll definately buy you a pint or two wherever you are !
