If the car has had a dpf fitted new and manufactured before September 2009, it will only be designed to euro 4 emissions then you could potentially rule bend there if someone had removed a dpf. since DPF wasn't mandatory on euro 4 cars.
I guess this is going to become one of those "famous" grey areas nobody really knows about
No, it says where a diesel car had a CAT or DPF fitted as standard, it must be present. It's not just DPFs, so you're still f*cked
Actually, no I'm not
because I have a 1995 engine. Since that's updated on my V5 it has to be tested to 1995 standards. No cat here 
but if I had my original 2001 engine, then I guess it would still need the cat fitted. But how would that be checked?
A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.
