Default MOT

Well I put my 3 door in for a mot on Friday was ready to laughed out the station tbh lol it hasn't been on the road for 4 years properly oops.

Well it flew through with no advisories even the emissions passed

On the hc ppm they were 394 and the co was 0.527 so a pass

Are these emissions good for this car

The hydrocarbons are pretty gud concidering its a 2.0 turbo, some mots are really funny with what they pass and fail, we've got to now put advisories on window tints for some reason, what ya gotta understand is that the requirements are really low on older cars,
Gud job though another classic back on the road, we pretty much always pass the classics

I've always found that a properly setup fast ford will only just about scrape through the emissions due to the shear pressure and unburnt fuel going through the probe
