as an independent excersise ive just looked at a typical run of the mill vehicle on Autodata service schedules (i choose a 13 plate Hyundai i20) to see what theyre version of checkable items are applicable at service intervals, firstly i looked at the first 4 service checklists and not once did it mention that a seat belt reciever is a checkable item.
seat belts are checked for MOT purposes and not service items (certainly on the above vehicle) ive not checked any other vehicle.
its just another example of words beating practicality.
obviously the other missed items should have been noted.
