Oh, when you take it back ask them to check the emmisions before they
start the MOT computer as then you won't be charged for the retest if it
fails.
If you can be bothered with the hassle you can appeal.
Or you can ring the VRO, confirm it with them and get them to ring the
garage.

Mine like others has sometimes been tested as visual smoke and sometimes
at 3.5% CO and has changed year to year.

Hi,
Mine went up from visual to 3.5% CO and 1200 ppm HC when they brought
in the computerised MOT tests. I'm running mega rich at tick over and
hit 2.2% CO and 85 ppm HC. I really thought it would fail
Hi,
Mine went up from visual to 3.5% CO and 1200 ppm HC when they brought
in the computerised MOT tests. I'm running mega rich at tick over and
hit 2.2% CO and 85 ppm HC. I really thought it would fail so I had
prepared and taken all the bits needed to tweak but they weren't needed.

You are correct, Pre-SVA kitcars are visual check only.
