DO I need any Cats?
Car is on an N plate, but the applied model number is GF8B58P ? Doesn't that make it a 1994 and therefore not needing any cats for MOT?
|
Where's GC8 when you need him?
He knew the model numbers like his families birthdays, probably better. |
Don't think taking a cat along for the mot will help :nono:
Besides it will probably scratch the mechanic and end up getting its a*se kicked :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: |
if its a uk car then yes it will need a cat on it jdms dont need one hope this helps my car regsterd on 16th march 94 need one for the test

Its on an N plate but its a 94?? N plates are 96....
My old civic was a 96 JDM and that still needed the cat for an mot. I was always under the inpression it was pre 92 that don't need cats? My old crx delsol was a 92 on a K plate and although it had a cat it didn't need to have emissions test. |

Its a grey area isnt it? The cars a 1994 build and if it had been registered as such then it wouldnt need to take a cat test. Because its year of first use is recorded as 1996 then youre going to struggle to avoid the later catalytic converter test.

Have always put one on for the MOT but a mechanic recently told me that I would not need one? Would it pass with a full decat being that is an import? Any advice appreciated. |
You only need to be able to pass the emissions test, you dont have to have a catalytic converter fitted. Unfortunately the non-specific test is almost as strict as the model-specific test and you will need a cat to meet the requirement.
