DM same seat in my car, I didn't take a chance , bought a cheap set of covers and just slapped o nthe front 2 for the test.
Failed me on no hubcaps and dirty/bubbly door sticker but the cheap covers were OK.

I got a section of my rear passenger seat repaired and also dents on my driver door and rear quarter panel sorted plus a peeling passenger side door sticker replaced,
The dent were there for last years suitability but it passed,i got the feeling he was looking for them this year,i know they take photos of the car every year and was wondering if they have access to those photos before the current test...it was S E Class that mentioned it at the beginning of the year that the test was stricter which spurred me on to get these repairs done.

Anything bigger than a fist is a fail on bodywork dents.I don't think they have gotten tougher but are just enforcing the rules already in the manual.The chap I got in Ballymun last time was on loan from Tallaght and he says he's sick of lads complaining about failing when their seats are manky.He said my car was in great condition(on the day)which means loads a lads aren't putting in the effort for test day.As far as I remember seats should have no tears and the car should be cleaned to a valet standard.Maybe shoddy/dirty cars are becoming more noticeable now that so many nearly new motors are coming into the fleet.

MFH my leather seat covers are not dirty,just cracks in the leather looks,a bit shabby. I dont know if they can fail you if its only the covers ,and not the actual seats

They judge whatever you present to them.I would just take the covers off for the test or put cheap ones over them for a pass then remove them afterwards.Depends on the tester.Maybe hang around the suitability and ask one of the lads while they're coming out to test another taxi rather than risk failing.

I got a section of my rear passenger seat repaired ...
Where and how much, por favor?

Got a rip in my leatherette seats that will probably need fixing at some point.
