They can roll out as many tests as they like for the mot test but they are still all negated by simply putting the sensor into the exhaust pipe of a different car parked next to it!!
If you don’t mind being fraudulent, sure. Might as well look at the tyres and brakes on another vehicle while you’re at it, hey?Emissions being out on an otherwise immaculate and well serviced enthusiast car is not a safety issue.

I’ve never known a tester pass a car with fail issues on tyres or brakes. Those are safety issues.

The MOT test is still a personal thing, it's on the opinion of the tester, and they have a licence/card. I did know one tester who lost his licence, he had been far too 'helpful.'

Similarly, I'll be selling my de-DPF'd car soon, I shall include dpf-delete in the advert, and in the car's full history I'll include the invoice for that work and all MOT certificates inc the MOTs passed after the delete.
