The main check is will it pass emissions - for anything else they ‘should’ check it’s worth downloading the MOT tester’s manual as it covers it in very plain language

Just FYI I wouldn’t spend money on UK supplied cats - they’re very cheap for the simple reason they don’t contain much in the way of precious metals required to work. They’ll get you through an MOT, and if you’re very lucky, 2 MOTs. Conveniently they’ll then be out of warranty. The market here isn’t pretty (and I was exposed to it in a professional capacity, hence why I went for the refurb route via Germany)

Maybe our German brethren can enlighten on how they deal over their MJ? I imagine they’re experiencing similar age related failures and will have info on alternative sources of decent grade cats

Will have to see if I’ve still got pics of mine from when they were done - was very neat
