Mine passed as well last week.
Don't want to gloat, but sailed through with no advisories.
Emissions were so low, the tester thought i had put a new cat on it, until he went under and saw it was the original.
It gave zero CO on both natural idle & fast idle,& 13 on the HC reading.
Not bad for 139000 miles,although a oil change & a blast up the bypass just before the test helped a bit, i think ?

Mine read as follows:-

Fast idle CO 0.083
HC 22
Lambda 0.996 Max limit 1.030

Natural idle CO 0.065

What would give a highish reading of the Lambda? any ideas? Thanks

Lambda range is between 0.970 - 1.030, so your reading is well within range !

wish i could say same for mine. Failed first time last thursday. Cost £650 plus £50 for the test to get it through.

Failed on front brakes (discs and pads), front section of brake pipes, two front ball joints and i needed a lambda sensor.
