Mot fail if seats removed?

Hi I'm after some advice... I have a 9 seat Renault traffic and the folding seat on the middle row is damaged where the seat isn't locking into position which is a fail... I'm running out of time to get it re tested in time for schools to go back which I need it for our school run... I can either get it repaired or have the whole seat unit replaced but in the meantime would it pass a re test if I simply remove the seat unit ? I'm unsure as the seatbelts would still be fixed on the outer walls of the van ? Obviously I'm not using a defective seat and have no intention to so it will 💯 be sorted before used again, I'm just panicking that I won't be able to have my mot pass in time. And was wondering if this was an option many thanks
