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 🤞👍

Thanks yeah I will definitely let you know how I get on. I think having the email from DVSA along with all my other evidence surely they can’t refuse! 👍

Hi all,

 

just thought I’d give you an update after a bit of a wait .. the Westy has passed its MOT today as a non cat vehicle using the engine specialist report I got and emails from DVSA!  You should see the smile on my face and a great day for a blast! Thanks to all for your help and advice with this!! 


Hi Sam, chuffed to bits that’s worked out, enjoy the next 12 months 🫶🏼 and now you gave the correct paperwork should make MOT’s less stressful going forward. Well done Sam 👍
