So is that a loophole there then? Because if you read the manual, it states where a cat has been previously fitted ie by the manufacturer and isn't fitted to the vehicle at the time of the mot test then its a fail As there is no emmissions test carried out for a diesel only a smoke test, one would think that without a cat it would be a fail I can't see anywhere where it says except diesel powered vehicles.

It's not in the current manual, as far as I know, but when the new rules were published, they stated only spark ignition engines need to have a cat fitted as part of a test. No mention of diesel engines at all

That said, our previous MOT station did fail a few (diesel) cars for not having a cat, until this fact was pointed out to them. Not had an issue since, even when moving to a different testing station
