will a Moke with no rollbar pass an inspection at a motor registry?

Edit - a 1982 moke

Yes.
It's not a rollbar. It's a 3 point seatbelt mount. If you have lap belts you're all good.

Is it legal to only have lap belts in a 1982 car?

Yes, if that is how it left the factory - like most non-Californians!

Why do people always say that?

I guess because that's what it officially was, a way to mount the seat belts and was never designed as a crash/rollover device....

Wrong.
The car has a set of ADRs which relate to it, and it is illegal to decrease the standard of safety of a vehicle - seatbelts included.

Your both right in theory.
If the car came from factory like that then it's still fine. But if the car orgionally had 3 point belts you can not change back to lap belts.

Best bet is to look up the ADR codes on the compliance plate, you have to comply with or better.

I am Reasonably sure That the Moke was Registered as a Comercial vechicle
and the ADR's were different to passenger cars, Hence it is rare to find Mokes
after 1978 that has a seating capacity of more than Two

I believe John is right - Mokes were registered as 2 seater commercial vehicles - two shells I have were ex-rentals from the central coast and have compliance plates certifying then as having been converted to 4 seater

Leyland referred to it as a roll bar.

Right actually.

No one said anything about reducing the spec. Non-Cali mokes only had lap belts. In fact some Cali's did not have roll bars! They had compliance plates with lap belts and that is all that is required today.
