visible soot from an exhaust is only on vehicles registered early 2014, Euro 4/5 are tested for 1/7/2008 from memory, so unless a tester has an intimate knowledge of a brand you can't rightfully fail anything for not having DPF pre 2008. There are far too many variables. We are currently seeing issues with the HDI engines in volvos emitting euro 4/5 levels of smoke on vehicles registered after the euro 6 cut off.
