If a vehicle's seat belts are frayed but still functioning, what is the pass/fail result?

In the context of vehicle inspections, seat belts are critical safety features designed to protect occupants in the event of a crash. If seat belts are frayed, even if they are still technically functioning, this indicates a significant deterioration and a potential safety risk. Safety regulations typically define the condition of seat belts as needing to be intact and free from fraying, cuts, or any other damage that compromises their integrity.

When seat belts show signs of wear and are frayed, they may not provide the necessary protection during an accident, meaning they fail to meet the required safety standards. Therefore, the vehicle must be marked as a fail in this scenario. Ensuring that all safety equipment is in optimal condition is essential for maintaining the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
