Not that I'm bothered, but I'm wondering if the warning bulb in dashboard cluster is there and works when ignition on, however it just goes out when engine starts and i could drive around at any speed without any warning telling me to belt up!

So maybe thinking someone has done a clever trick with it on this 2002 W210 Face-lift E320 CDI Wagon.

Any advice on where to check if it has been tampered with?

Surprised it can pass an MOT.

Mine is the same, can't remember if I removed it with STAR or if it was done before I bought it or if it even had one lol

Can't see it failing an MOT, it's only a reminder.

IIRC STAR can remove the Nanny seat belt warning, but you need a note off Angela Merkel to do so.
