Will my car pass an MOT without a DPF?
It is fully legal to remove the catalytic converter from a Diesel Car and it will not raise any issue at MOT time. VOSA, who run UK MOT testing have confirmed this with us. This also applies to DPF (Diesel Particulate Filters), which are not even mentioned in the testers manual.
In January 2012 there was a regulation change for cars that require an emissions test where ‘if a cat was fitted as standard, it must be there for the MOT’. Diesel cars are not required to pass this emissions test, so that regulation doesn’t apply. There are no further emissions related changed expected in the near future and any changes to emission tests are unlikely due to the massive cost to the MOT stations.
MOT Test of Exhaust Systems and Emissions Test Description
The exhaust system will fail the MOT if:
Part of the system missing or excessively deteriorated
Mounting are missing or damaged so that the exhaust system is insecure
There is a major leak
The system emits appreciably more noise than a similar vehicle fitted with a standard system in good condition.
Emissions
These are checked using specialised equipment, the details of the check depending on the year that the vehicle was first used on the road. Excessive smoking (checked visually) is a reason for failure.
Diesel smoke emissions are checked by using a smoke meter.
