Probably if it's at the rear of the sill, as it would be within 12" (300mm) of the seat belt mounting point.

Re: is a rusty sill
Mate of mine failed because the mot guy put his fist through the sill, so he cut out a square, did the same at the other side to make it look like it was made that way, and went to a different mot centre and passed, so there's always a way round it if it does fail!
