No, rules changed this spring.
ANY car fitted with a dpf (which can be discerned by mot tester using chassis number etc (for example I had a 2010 59 plate c4 1.6hdi which is well within the timeframe post dpf roll-out, and is listed on databases everywhere as having one, didnt have one from factory which was determined by chassis number, and emissions stated on V5. Other way round, but same thing)) from the factory, full stop.
ANY cat/dpf/egr tampering or evidence of, regardless of year is a fail.
Roadside spot-checks etc are now imnediately concerned with checking these too.
Not that it cant be got away with, but its more dicey now than de-catting a post 92 petrol!
