Elmo Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 After fitting new rear tyres and replacing a sidelight bulb my Supe passed the MOT today. However, I have just had a look at the Exhaust emission test results sheet and shows the overall results as FAILED! The guy has signed it but passed the car, I always thought if a car failed the emission test it would therefore fail the MOT. Any ideas?

ivan Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 A guess - but maybe it went through as not needing a cat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Maybe it failed the more stringent tests for newer cars but was enough to pass the test required by your year of car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 I've thought about de-catting but I couldn't be arsed to re-fit the cats every year for the MOT, it seems like this guy would pass the car even if it was de-catted. I've just found last years emission test and it passed, maybe one of the cats is knackered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Normally the oxygen sensor that goes. How's your MPG??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 MPG seems OK. I do approx 100 miles per week and use about £20 worth of fuel, have done for the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
