It is always a good idea to take along your V5 document when having your annual MOT test as this can verify some likely queries. I will look up the emissions pages tomorrow to see if my thoughts are correct. HTH.

Mine was registered in 2002, but has a 1972 engine fitted, so visual only.

You are correct on your assumptions, but the problem is that the V5 doesn't state the age of the engine, the only proof I have is a copy of the SVA Mac certificate, which states CO2 levels not applicable, good job I got a copy.
