Also MOT's went up as from today to £50, plus a few pence.

I think the more advanced test will apply when more lambda equipped diesels are about.
The lambda sensor is used to regulate the egr valve, absolving the maf of this task.
Hopefully, we've seen the end of the dreaded maf in these vehicles!
