MOT failure or not

I would say if your airbag light is on, you should be getting this professionally checked regardless of your MOT.
Airbag going off / no going off at the right or wrong time could save or end your life.

It has only come on recently but I'm gettin it sorted ASAP,just wanted to know if it will affect the MOT.i have been informed that it's a common fault with the airbag light,somethin to do with the box directly under the drivers seat
I would get it sorted before it went for a MOT, from what i can gather it probably will fail just by having the light on.
My brother could not get anyone to pass his ibiza cupra with a airbag warning light on, they just said it is part of the criteria now
Yep it's a fail. And you can't even take the fuse out for it now because it has to light up when ignition is on and has to go out.

Engine light isn't a fail.
Airbag
SRS
PAS
ABS
TCS
ESP
All are.
basically any safety related system MUST be fault free to achieve a pass. VOSA are not bothered about the EML as it can be triggered for pretty much no reason at all.

Too many variables can cause the eml to come on so it was not considered and it's not a safety related system. So pending an emissions test the car goes through.
The eml is actually meant to indicate an emission related fault but can actually indicate such minor issues as a bulb being out.

You're thinking of the abs light, that has to follow the correct procedure. The airbag light is only a fail if it's is illuminated. Technically you can still take the bulb out or disable the light but not advised.

Seeing as you're in South Wales, come and see me and i'll plug the laptop in to it and tell you what the fault is.
What box thing are you referring to?
I dont think you can take it out/disable for MOT. It has to illiuminate (with ignition) and then go out.
