SimonB Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi guys, been quite a while since I've been on here! It appears my usual MOT place (the one Triton use) has stopped being decat "friendly" Which is annoying since I lent my 2nd cat out to someone years ago - can't remember who or if they ever gave it back but it vanished one way or the other! Does anyone in the south coast area have a sensible MOT place they know (you can PM me if you like)? I don't mind travelling a bit if I have to. Failing that is there anyone that can lend me a 2nd cat? Need to get the Supra MOTd before Le Mans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Just a word of warning, and this is straight from my formerly 'friendly' MOT place, is that if the police find out you don't have a CAT when you should, they can confiscate and crush your car without any notice. My second CAT is now permanently on the car until I can get myself a sports CAT to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second CAT is now permanently on the car until I can get myself a sports CAT to replace it. Well, they would say that wouldn't they? I'm pretty certain the only reason police can seize a car in the UK is if it is uninsured or being driven dangerously. Or in an area which has a "no cruising" injunction passed on it. In theory a roadside emissions test could be done in which case you would get a rectification notice, fine and 3 points I believe. But I've never heard of it actually happening. That's assuming they would actually know what the correct emissions were, which is unlikely. Might be different for cars build after 2001. Anyway, thanks for the help everyone - I'm sorted now, MOT Friday pm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
