I'm far too easily distracted by rattles so I have to work out what they are and stop them. All the 453s I own have this knocking noise.
I normally plug the seatbelt into the receiver but the girlfriend always forgets so the belt end flaps about.
You can get clips that you push the seat belt tongue into, however, you have to manually plug the seat belt into it.
That ain't happening.

A cracked oil sump is becoming more and more common on the 451, mainly because the oil pan is aluminium and the sump plug is steel. The added bonus of the aluminium becoming more brittle as the sump heats and cools.
Changing the sump pan on a 451 is a terrible job to do. Smart saw fit to bolt a lot of things onto the back edge of it.
So, to same the sump cracking or the threads stripping when the sump plug is removed and refitted, it's just better to fit a Stahlbus sump plug once.
It never needs to be removed which means no copper washers to replace either.
The whole thing is cleaner too since the valve release tool has a locking bayonet fitting and a hose that you place into a container.

Doesn't work on the 453 but DOES work on the 450 fortwo, 451 fortwo and 452 Roadster.
If it doesn't work, it's a "you" problem and not a car problem.
The original video on my old channel was very low resolution. Somewhere between Lego res and Duplo res. So I ran it through an AI upscaler.
Meh, it looks alright I guess.
