This is why I keep going on about finding an MOT testing station that you can use every year and does not do repairs.
The testing station I use will do his utmost to get a car through a test for his regulars, I was down there a few weeks ago getting a friends car tested, the car before me he was struggling getting the emissions low enough to get a pass, he had a cloth stuffed up the tail pipe, he was revving it to get the cat as hot as possible and after several mins he managed to get a pass on the machine. A lot of places will just put the test probe up the exhaust and if it fails it will be down to you.
