seatbelt catch and mot

[krome]

hi guys i have recentley bought a 1L gls on a w plate the lady who owned it before me said the front passenger seatbelt catch had a hydraulic problem and so had a replacement that was bolted to the car floor, the problem is that the replacement catch is sometimes difficult to get the seatbelt to go in it (its a niche thing), will this affect the mot in any way?, if so how can i resolve it, does it cost a lot to get the hydraulic seatbelt catch fixed?, thanks for reading

Go to the scrapyard and and get what you need, won't cost a lot.

the thing is is that its like a gas chamber thing

tbh

just get some silicone spray soak the one thats in your car now may free it up a bit
