It should be fine with just the centre cat, if you've gone the full de-cat route. Least I'm hoping so as I intend to get a downpipe at some point in the not too distant future
I think the main thing is that you take it for a good run before turning up at the MoT testers to get it nice and hot. Cats only work properly when really heated up.

simple rule
leave one cat on for mot pass, does not matter which as long as you leave one.
my choice was to keep the front downpipe cat and run fully decatted with PE tek3, takes up far less room than centre pipe and ditched the heat shielding

as said, i does depend where you take it, as not all the testing machines are the same (thankfully )
deffo keep the centre cat if you can, i wish i'd kept all my original exhaust bits, but got 'pressure' to get shot of them. something to do with 'clutter' apparently

I suppose it differs from car to car.
