If so that is good, but why is it different to other cars and why do the mot station want to know the co and hc at mot time
have you seen this on a official site [ dvla ]

No cars have ever been (or will ever be) taxed on CO or HC. Modern cars are taxed on CO2 but it is not possible to measure this without extensive and
expensive testing and equipment (which is done as part of type-approval on production cars). Thus old cars (pre 2001) and kit cars are taxed on engine
size.
MOT testing of CO and HC is to check the engine is functioning correctly and not emitting noxious gases.
