Hi can someone tell me why my daughters 1998 mazda mx5 failed it's mot last year on emissions until the helpful mechanic said take it for a good long drive and it will probably be ok.To her delight he was right.But a year on and here we go again,"failed" they put it on a diagnostic machine and it reads perfect again but still failed. Is there an answer out there to this problem? He said to fit something which will cost about £500.00 but may not fix it.

At £500 I'd say they was looking at replacing the cat? Could always be the MAF sensor though - but they are more like ~£150.Just my untechnical guessings.
