But apart from being an MOT tester, MOT tester trainer, MOT manager, MOT manager trainer, and 50 years of MOT experience, and a great club member and Area Organiser, what has Martyn ever done for us? 🤣

Can you not just get yourself an exhaust with a cat on just for mot's I was toying with this idea as my mot man even said my megablade would need a cat so I tried a different garage and he was fine and it passed.

It would need a lambda too (so maybe a remap). That said, I may have missed the fact it already has one

Well I’ve managed to get an engineers report from a Vauxhall specialist that dates the engine at 1990 so no cat needed. I’ve also just had a reply back from DVSA who have confirmed this would be enough proof of the age of the engine!  So I’m gonna take this to the test station soon… I will update on progress!  Hopefully with an MOT pass!

Great news & good luck, please let us know how you get on, as this is a regular occurrence as MOT failure is so frustrating 🤞👍
