Well there are companies out there that re-do webbing, but that is Nylon weave belt, you can remove the fray, and lightly hit with a heat gun, or lighter to make it again self seal (nylon melts)… and a frayed edge isn't as bad as your MOT tester wants to admit to……

That's just a little bit of fraying, sharp pair of scissors and carefully trim the fray bits off.

Did you take the car for it's MOT to a garage you always use or a place offering a cheap MOT like a tyre fitters?

Garage is the engine builders. Used since restoration. This was it's MOT last year, they passed it with advisory. Said would probably need replacing next year.
This year I was going to go to a garage closer due to covid, but unsure how I feel about the car being sprayed with anti-bac when I don't know the effect on the paintwork.

They are or should only spray the insides where they touched....
