Default MOT passed, emissions getting better every year.
Finally went to MOT today, almost month overdue. Passed first time with no advisories. Funny thing emissions seams to be getting better each year.

Car has been off road for winter and today finally took it to long overdue MOT. Emissions exactly like last year CO 0.00, HC 8. Not improving any further so looks like it has reached limit at how low they can be.

As far as I know they are original, I have had car for almost 8 years now, I have not changed them and they did not look like they have been changed in the past when I got the car.
