Default MOT paranoia

HI

My 94 wrx is due for an MOT in the next fortnight. Car has only done 48000m so engine is still relatively young. I have a cat back exhaust which has dropped cat number 2 leaving me only with the one on the turbo downpipe?

Do i need to be ****ting it on MOT day? Old cars have more leniant levels if i'm correct? Also aren't they supposed to be ok as long as the cat is still on the turbo downpipe?

I'm worried mine might be shagged due to the occasional pop and bang that happens at the back?

Mine (MY94) went straight through last week with only passenger headlight needing adjusting.



















Oh and no cats fitted

sweet - i sense a removal in the future if thats the case

I know i need to get the cowboy foglight wiring sorted which was done when the car was bought.

Everytime it goes "click" on the switch not only does my foglight come on but so does my washer jet and front wipers.

Its like a brucey bonus

Mine flew through with just the second cat removed. The readings weren't that much different than with both still fitted (MY99 - 70k miles)
