Air bags are not checked as part of the MOT.

Just make sure the airbag light isnt on when you change the wheel. I think they will fail you on that even if there is no airbag there mate.

Nope.

Airbag/Airbag System/ Airbag Warning Light are not checked.

They can advise you on it. But it's not a fail.

Take the bulb out. Also there is a resistor trick
