Removing rear seats from my Citroen Berlingo Multispace - will this make a difference to MoT?
My 2005 Citroen Berlingo Multispace's sliding side doors won't open from the outside (or with central locking) but unlocks OK from the inside when necessary.
I only use the car as a 'van' i.e. rear seats always folded down, no passengers.
If I removed the rear seats would it pass the MoT?

The MoT rules are very clear: all driver and passenger doors must open from the outside using the relevant control. Removing the rear seats will not prevent the vehicle from failing the MoT - the Berlingo Multispace is classified as a car and not a commercial vehicle.
