Just wondered if any Mot guys hang around here and could comment.
Father in laws car failed the Mot on various things but the problem one is the emissions.
Im pretty sure the details being used are incorrect and its being tested as a UK Mazda Mx5 which while it is to the untrained eye the car is an Import and does not appear in the Annex of the emissions document.
This basically means it undergoes a less stringent test from what i can see.
Photo below of test results, i believe the CO max target should be 3.5% for the Eunos.
Just wondered if they enter the car manually for the emissions test or is it automatically populated with the registration?

I believe the fast idle tests are omitted too.

Didn't go well, he wouldn't back down saying he was right.
I had a chat with DVSA who confirmed he was wrong and referred me to this which when used takes me to the non cat test.
Won't be returning as I dont have the energy to deal with stupid.

Amusing thing is he tested it last year for my father in law but fudged the emissions by using another car.
Obviously did the test wrong then.
I had to bite my tongue this year when he said there was nothing he could do.
