When I first bought mine 9 years ago it had 0.01% CO and 30ppm HC, but using Shell VPower and good maintanence has dropped it to 0.00%CO and 8ppm HC last couple of MOT's and that's without LPG.

Knowing this part of the 'United Kingdom', it's bound to be different! The MOTs are done by a government agency, the DVTA. There are only 17 locations in all of Northern Ireland.
As to what they test for, the figures I quoted where what was printed on the MOT sheet. I've just had a look at their website, and strangely enough, it does mention 'guidance figures' of 200ppm at 0.3% fast idle and 0.5% at idle.
