If it's modern it will have sensors either side of the cat. To make sure the cat is working.
You'd have to define unroadworthy. You can fail an MOY because the windscreen washer bottle is empty. Or a sidelight out, when everyone drives on dipped headlights. Or an iffy handbrake on an auto where it is never ever used. And so on.
Or a more pertinent one. There are regs about fitting aftermarket HID to headlights. But not similar for LED.
And of course those famous diesel VWs that had no trouble fooling the emissions tests at MOT time.
By roadworthy I would define a vehicle in a dangerous condition that the MOT place shouldn't allow back onto the road...and only a bent MOT allows it to do so.
I was thinking of the machine the MOT station use ...
And can be horribly expensive to replace when they go wrong.
even some surface corrosion where just the paint has gone, but if it 'near' a suspension mounting point, some zealous MOT testers will fail it.
Engine management light was on. Automatic falure.
No, only cheapskates drive diesel cars, to save money on road tax.
Then they wonder why they have to pay out huge bills for replacement DPF parts.
you might like the bastards driving around but I don't! are you one of thebastards so stick up for them? you have the right nym.
Who cares what you like? You'll be dead soon.
Apparently so. Until I change it again.
