I wouldn't think it could fail an MOT just on this, if the seat can't tilt, but an examiner needs excess to the rear to check the rear seat belts, he could get in the rear from the otrher seat if that tilts. As long as you explain to him that you will be looking into this and get it sorted out he shouldn't really fail it.Only seat anchorage points are considered in the test and these should be solid and rust or corrosion free.
Our future lies in the past, we can learn from the past to forcast our future,
Both don't tilt. Some huge woman owned it before me and has bent the side of the seats and there flat. Not curved anymore
