MOT Failed Car Seat Belt Due to Frayed Webbing? Find the Safe Solution Here!

Why does frayed car seat belt webbing lead to an MOT failure?

A car seat belt is your primary lifesaver in a collision. The webbing must be intact and strong to absorb enormous forces. Fraying, wear, or damage to the seat belt webbing indicates a weakened structure. Even the smallest fray can be an indication that the belt will no longer perform optimally upon impact.

For these reasons, a seat belt with frayed webbing (or other visible damage) is an **immediate rejection point** during the Annual Technical Inspection (MOT). Safety is paramount here.

The Safe Solution: Professional Seat Belt Webbing Replacement

Instead of purchasing a complete new seat belt – which is by far the most expensive option – replacing only the frayed webbing is often the most logical, economical, and safe solution. But beware: **there are several parties in the Netherlands who can replace seat belt webbing, but not all of them guarantee safety!**

Our Guarantee: Safety According to R16 Guidelines

At Seatbeltspecialist.com, safety comes first. All our seat belt webbing replacements comply with the strict European **R16 guidelines**, which regulate the safety and functionality of seat belts.

Can the webbing on the seat belt buckle receiver be replaced too? No problem!

Not only the long strap that goes around you can be frayed; sometimes the webbing on the seat belt buckle receiver is also damaged. Good news: at Seatbeltspecialist.com, we can professionally replace the webbing on the buckle receiver as well, for a complete and safe solution.

Cost Comparison: New Belt vs. Webbing Replacement

Unfortunately, many garages, out of convenience or lack of awareness, immediately opt to replace a defective belt with a new original one.
