Hi

Iym inheriting my daughter's 14 plate Focus 1.6 TDCi

It's failed its MOT on a front subframe which I'm getting sorted in the next couple of weeks 😅💰😬

The single rear o/s passenger seat has come away from its fixings. The MOT bloke said it could be secured with cable ties but we can't see any holes anywhere to attach it 🤔 Does anyone know if we could glue it in place and, if so, which type of glue would be best?

 

"Offside Rear Passenger's seat insecure Base cushion only partially attached to metal frame. (6.2.6 (a) (ii))"

 

On a safety note, the passenger seats will never be used apart from for shopping bags etc 

Thanks in advance 👍🏻

6.2.6. Passenger seats

You should lift folded seats to inspect seat belts unless this requires the use of tools or specialist equipment. If you cannot lift seats because there are heavy or fragile items on the seat, you can refuse to test the vehicle. For details, see item 4d in the Introduction.

You should only consider a passenger seat structure defective if it’s likely to cause injury.

Original design characteristics and specialised modifications (e.g. to enable wheelchair access, or changed to a fixed seat) are to be accepted.
Defect     Category
(a) A passenger seat:

(i) with a defective structure or the backrest cannot be retained in the upright position Major
 

(ii) insecure   Dangerous
