Doubt they would fail it, might come up as an advisory if the light for the breaks is on. My airbag light has been on for an age now and it has passed with no mention of it. Might be the wiring for the airbag which i think is under the passenger seat. :smiley:

dunno about the airbag light, but shouldn't fail on dodgy brake pad sensor as they check the pads/discs themselves... if you're worried you can twist the wires together and tape them out of the way until you get around to fixing it, that completes the circuit and turns the light out.

They'll do a visual check of the brake pads and if they're ok it will be fine.
