Hi all an update for you I went back to the garage and now he says I need a new cat as the one that's been on there for years and passed previous mot,s is no good I asked him what he was on about when he said some thing missing under the bonnet but he just changed the subject so like everyone on here has said it's definitely a problem with the cat now totally different story to that on Saturday also he won't believe me when I told him the engine light on these models doesn't light up when the engine is started I even showed him this forum and he still don't believe so now I'm stuck does anybody know of a sympathetic mot garage near Rotherham I could take it to for a second opinion
Thanks to all of you for your previous replies

Ok so have the cats be tampered with?
Did you get the emission print out at the MOT?

The way I see it, he can’t tell it needs a new cat unless it’s “visibly” been tampered with, or an emissions report?

Take it anywhere else and see what they say

If the current garage still won't co-operate & there is nothing actually wrong that would justify the fail then you've really got two choices:
1. Appeal the result www.gov.uk/government/publications/complain-about-an-mot
2. Try another MOT station.

Think I`d go with option 2.

Yep I think I will try another garage as it passed the emissions test.The car has also had 4 previous mots with just an advisory for the cat not a fail I don't know whats changed but ever since I bought this a couple of months ago its been one thing after another and then when I finally thought I'd got it sorted this happens.

Take a picture of the Cat. Might give a clue what the MOT tester is saying ?

I am no expert, but I think the cable that is disconnected in the images you uploaded relates to the FBH, mine was disconnected because the vehicle was exported to Australia from new and the owner obviously didn't need the extra heater so had it disabled.

The FBH is under the battery tray so doubt that would reach, also plug for FBH looks like this
