What would make it illegal? It's just the same tilting seat.

Going the other way (5dr into 3dr) would deem your back bench unusable.

....Does that mean that a tilting front seat in a 5-door would become a MOT failure, do you know?

This is my question - I would say 5 doors into a 3 door is NO NO and an MOT failure, simly because you can not get in/out of the back safely. 3 door in to a 5 dooor however I can't see there being a problem - but MOT laws are changing.
