MOT Success
That's another year of MOT success. It's not failed one for three years now (and that was just a CV boot). It's a great car and I've never once regretted the purchase.
I'm not sure how accurate the CO2 and HC test is though... In the fast idle test I had below results CO2: Max limit 0.200 actual value 0.000 HC: Max limit 200 actual value 9 Maybe I should get a tax refund for cleaning the air!

Excellent news. I think these engines are incredibly clean even before all the add-ons. I know mine sailed through the MOT when one of the cats was just an empty box with a few bits of ceramic substrate rattling around inside!

Another year and another pass with no real advisories (number plate condition and child seats fitted only). I forget how old this car is sometimes!

These D2s seem to have a high success rate possibly due to the care and attention we lavish on them!!! Glad to hear yours was clear for another year

And another success
And success for mine today. Clean sheet with no advisories No doubt something to do with a visit to the Doctor's 2 years ago and a few suspension bits swapped out as well as a list of the usual suspects. (last year was a 1 advisory regarding a worn/pitted rear brake disc but this was not picked up this year!)
