PLEASE NOT DE-CAT PIPES ARE FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY

Illegal for road use
New MOT laws regarding de cat pipes
The UK has introduced new MOT laws that require vehicles to have a catalytic converter or emissions control system that meets the original build standard for the entire life of the vehicle. This includes modifications such as decat pipes, which are now considered illegal for road use. The new regulations aim to ensure that vehicles are not used on the road with emissions control systems that do not meet the original specifications.
If a vehicle’s emissions control system is no longer functioning correctly, it can lead to legal consequences, including fines and potential prosecution. The proposed legislation would apply retroactively to all vehicles registered since January 1, 2001, and would affect motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, tricycles, and quadricycles as well as cars, vans, buses, and lorries.
It is crucial for vehicle owners to understand the implications of these new MOT laws and to ensure that their vehicles comply with the latest regulations to avoid legal issues and fines.
