It is ridiculous. But remember, MOT testers CANNOT (well not meant to) remove any cover, so if you've an undertray and large engine cover how can they check if the dpf is there?
If they can see it, empty it, put it back.
Same with the cat, cut a hole in the top, empty it out, weld top back up.
And with regards to the landy/kit car thing, I believe it's an EU legislation for car MANUFACTURERS to fit dpf/cat/blah blah blah. so in theory, shouldn't effect landy/kit car etc. well from my point of view anyway.
Was trying to figure out if I could get away with pulling my ABS light out the dash (no rear abs sensors) - Won't work. But if I remove the whole ABS system (any part that is used by another system can stay - as can abs rings) then it's a pass.
