I have just passed my MOT with the same problem. But thankfully someone on here helped me through.

There is a technicality which you can get your car through the MOT without a CAT if produced before july 1995!!!

When the car is put onto the emissions tester and the model selection comes up it lists a 2000 turbo. The MOT handbook specifies that the model should be exactly correct. Hence my 1995 wrx sti is technically not listed on the model on the computer. In which case it is subjected to a standard emmissions test which does not need a CAT to pass (CO levels of <3.5% rather than with a CAT <0.5%)
