<![CDATA[Does my 92 mx3 have to pass the emmisions test?]]>My local garages cant give the answer, the best i get is if it has a cat it will have to pass the test for the MOT although my mate has a 95 peugot 205 and that has a cat but he doesnt have to pass it for his?

Is there a guide or list somewhere to help me?

there are two types of test, one non cat ie 92 reg and previous and then the cat test version ie 93 on...
