Hi Peeps,
just had a bit of a row with these bugres who seem to be trying to make it difficult for Mr and Mrs Average to find this in order to make considered decisions about their MOTs etc.
It is there but they have hidden it at the bottom of a page that looks like you need to log on as an MOT tester or the like. Here is the page
https://www.mot-testing.service.gov...36.153688146.1569228264-1021692941.1569228264
What a mouthful!!!
Now scroll to the bottom of the page than click on "Manual for class 3,4,5 and 7 vehicles" and you'll get this
https://www.mot-testing.service.gov.uk/documents/manuals/class3457/
Which SHOULD be what you are looking for. But it took some straight emailing before this was to be found.
It used to be so simple.....
Have a close look at the section 8.2.1.1 if you are worried about your lack of an EGR. People have been making hay with this one. To my reading of this one, if you don't have a cat they shouldn't even be looking for an EGR, but others seem to read it differently.
What do you think?

8.2.1 is spark ignition engines, 8.2.2 for diesels. They read differently and have different emissions tests. The egr / dpf worries many have don't really apply to older diesels as so many never had them to start with, so the average (not anal) mot'er will never check / know the difference - Mot'er at the council place I use said to the effect of "if it completes fast pass we don't look for trouble".

Put some new injector seals on my mates transit for the MOT as well last month, noticed the dpf had been chopped out while doing so but chanced it anyway, MOT'er didn't even notice, same attitude pretty much it seemed.

My God you are right.
I stupidly didn't notice the reference to "spark ignition engines" and thought it applied to all.
So for all diesels that originally had a EGR, it should still be fitted technically to pass the MOT.
Case closed.
By the way, the Gov.uk website got back to me and agreed that there was a Glitch, but stated that it would be fixed with some other update they were going to do anyway. Yeah yeah!
