SEAT BELTS
From Most vehicles after 1965 must have seat belts, irrespective of that requirement, all seat belts fitted to any vehicle must be inspected for:
• Security of seat belt mountings and locking stalks
• Security and operation of the locking/release mechanism
• Condition of webbing
• Retraction of the belt (it is permissable to manually feed it in).
Notes:
1 For technical reasons the inertia locking mechanism is not checked.
2 On some vehicles the belt is attached to the seat, in which case the security of the seat to the vehicle would also constitute part of the seat belt check.

And I think on vehicles post Jan 1965 the belt must secure the upper part of the body. See below from MOT testers manual..... NB This refers to front seats.
A. vehicles first used before 1 April 1981: A belt which restrains the upper part of the body (but need not include a lap belt) for each seat
B. Vehicles first used after 31 March 1981: A 3 point (lap/diagonal) belt for each of these seats (see note 2
