MOT catalyst fun
Just for your entertainment/pain, this is what remains of the cat that my garage pulled out of my 240 yesterday after it massively failed its emissions test on the MOT. I've had the car since September 2017, and it was last MOTd in January 2017, and has several passes before that. This cat was obviously 'trapdoored' (cut a hole, remove the internals, welded up) some time ago, and someone has been getting it through MOTs ever since! I really thought a lot of the crooked garages had gone in this country, but there must still be a few out there...
Anyway, I'm now £300 lighter and significantly grumpier. Nothing like a used car to keep you on your toes!
