My father is a MOT inspector and has just been on the latest course and says its not herd off.

So even if i decat the 180, will the precat be ok as that passes the emmisions fine. Or should it have the full amount of cats on it, as it came from the factory?

I asked him that and he will find out tomorrow.

My MGF is currently got a DECAT on it so ill have to get a cat for it again.
vosa will be doing more road side checks and will be looking for people running with out cat's on. I think the 180 will be ok as mine passed just on the precat when i had it, its all to do with emmisions i think.

A 180 running OE manis with a decat with lambda sensor fitted and MIL kit will pass the MOT. If they look for the engine light still being illuminated after a few seconds then they will know a decat has been done. However if all seems okay MIL wise and no emissions issues then I can see no reason for looking any further. Never had issues with mine for last couple of MOTs.
