In all fairness this is slightly ambiguous...

*From link on AA's website about the CHANGES that are coming in (albeit I haven't read the whole thing properly)

Not In the official manual accessed by the VTS.

I expect it to become a enforceable law to stop this. Its a doddle to spot it and check what a vehicle failed on previously. Itll become one of those things the police can enforce during spot checks.

I'm assuming the manual is up to date with the changes from Jan 1st?

this is the manual you access from the VTS when we log on and off an MOT and issue yor pass or fail.
so yes its the word of god.
when we fail a vechle we have a list of what we can reject ,.
so you cant make them up
See the official manual for what ever class you have
Class 5 its getting real tight

Also going to have to be careful when cutting to fit a new can...

"Exhaust
A catalytic convertor fitted as original equipment but missing will be a reason for failure."

I've just read the motorcycle link download (thanks), I can't see any mention of a speedo in it. Can I imply the mot man does not have to see one?
Only asking as I've swapped mine for a GPS

From that link...

"1. a. Any part of the exhaust system missing or excessivelydeteriorate"

Surely if a Cat is supposed to be there then it falls foul of this?
