Emission limit of V5
mikeb - 14/4/20 at 02:23 PM

My kit isn't due a MOT until next year but I was just looking at my V5 and note its states the following for emissions.

CO 0.3; 0.2 FI HC 0.02FI; LAMBDA 0.97- 1.03

I'm not sure this is correct for a pre 92 engine although I'm note sure I'm comparing the same units as those used during the IVA which were CO 3.5% and HC 1200ppm

Any idea if my V5 is correct hence what I'll be tested on come MOT time?

Sounds wrong to me. Those are limits got cat equipped cars.

Good luck with getting it changed.

If you've got a Q plate then it doesn't matter.

It is on a Q, does that mean the test just puts it on visual during the MOT?

Yeah Q plates are still tested visual only
