Are you using a lot of fuel too then?
Mine was and it failed mot on extremely high emissions.
Just needed a new lambda sensor. Though, I had to go to 3 garages before I found one with the right equipment to run a diagnostic.

just cos its using alot of fuel doesn't mean its running rich. if the afr is wrong may be running to much fuel low revs, but then not enough and leaning out top end of the revs, the devil is in the detail.

get it on a dyno and see whats going on
