MOT question

[EdT]

If - for arguments sake - I tell an MOT tester the engine in my car is not the original one, but an older unit, would he be able to tell if I'm telling porkies?

He could check the engine number.

Don't think so, but IIRC they do put the engine number of the certificate.

Just looked at my most recent and no, they just put the chasis number on the certificate.

IIRC the emissions are done on the age of the engine or the age of the car, whichever is older

You can (usually) tell the age of an engine from the block number
