I'm sure this is right, but I may be shot down...

Just put some insulation tape over the 'NOT FOR ROAD USE' marking. The MOT inspector is not permitted to remove the tape, and if he cannot see the marking he cannot include it in his test report.

s'what I've heard anyway and it worked for a friend. He even got the sarky comment from the MOT inspector who'd seen it all before!

Seems strange though. I thought the MOT included a db test?

All of this is certain to have been covered in other threads.

I can’t really confirm either way as a lot of manufacturers used to make the exhausts a similar length etc.

Sorry I can’t help any further.
So there we have it folks, it may, or may not be a Fuel can

Motorcycle centre, Carrington road, Stockport.

Have a look at this link, there's probably one nearer than that:
