Just been told i need CAT test on 1993 Engine

[PeteV6R5]

I use to CAT mine for the MOT 1st 2 years - mongoose so no issues. then I read all about the tests and section 7. Always had my V5 showing V6 details, Good prompt to have engine year as well - not done that.
So went along to my MOT garage, told them it was a 93 engine - they looked it up on the data base and did the none CAT test without even blinking an eyelid.
Te next year another MOT'er was reving the car as if trying to clear it so I went in and asked him what he was doing.
He told me I was just failing the CAT rest parameter. --Just failing--, when I pointed out it was a 93 engine - he also looked up the details and came back and apologized and did the none CAT test. Needless to say it passed, now it has a Japspeed which I bung every year for the MOT.
