    buy a set of cheap ass seat covers for the re-test.... I'd imagine that should do the job.

    It must have been one big rip!
    After a quick look, I can't find reference to the seats in the NCT manual - is there one?

    The NCT is to make sure your car is safe to drive on public roads and in perfect mechanical working order. I really fail to see how your car would fail this test based on a defect in the seating material.

    Are we telling Porky Pies???

    Think you need to tell us these before any help or advice can be offered.

    Can't see NCT failing someone over seats tbh.
