Pass - if there is no slide mech then there is nothing to test and fail

6.2.3.The driver’s seat fore and aft adjustment mechanism not functioning as intended

Meaning that if there is no adjustment mechanism then it does function as intended ie fixed - not a fail...

IIRC, they must only slide if a slide mech fitted.

If there's no rear seats then they don't need to recline AFAIK.

My tester also said it's a case of 'if it's not there, he can't test it'.
