SMiFFAD Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Will a K reg import sup require a cat to pass an mot? Looking at one, but it doesnt have the cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Someone posted that the VOSA data base had been updated to the effect if it was manufactured with cats it would require them for MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Someone posted that the VOSA data base had been updated to the effect if it was manufactured with cats it would require them for MOT Unless you know a "friendly" MOT centre you will need at least 1 cat in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 My mot place didnt even do the test for emissions as he knew it would fail. Just input his own figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 My mot place didnt even do the test for emissions as he knew it would fail. Just input his own figures and still failed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 at the time of test, if the tester fiqures out the engine code ie 2JZGTE and enters it into the computer then it will require a cat test. when i had mine tested the engine code was set to default so no cat test required;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uksupra Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Unless you know a "friendly" MOT centre you will need at least 1 cat in is that a visual inspection?? surley a car that passes emissions with or without a cat is a car that passes emissions???

MrAngry Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 The garage I took my car too last week for it's MOT didn't do any emissions tests either. I hadn't mentioned anything to them about not doing it, as it's still got both cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiFFAD Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hmmm so seems to be a "maybe/maybe not" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 my mot man said aslong as it passes the emissions he wont look for a cat which is now a 3" downpipe just need to run a lean map for the emissions test, between 2-3k revs. Has to be over 0.97 lamba, which 'i think' is about 14.5 afr.

SupraJames Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Mine gets tested as a non-cat equipped car , nice people that they are. Had it tested as a McLaren F1 once according to the emissions computer print out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-NEMIE Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 mine also said "if it was manufactured with cats its LIKELY it would require them to pass the MOT" "doesnt matter if its an import, if it drives on our roads its tested by our mot rules". but also said the emmisions test goes off the age of the car. make sure its been for a good hard drive first good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
