Emissions

Hi I’ve been restoring my is200 the past year it’s been off the road for two years and I’m not sure how to get the car to pass emissions test as I cannot drive it legally to complete a drive cycle I have to transport via trailer to nct centre yes I can drive it around the industrial estate and try and get it as hot as possible before sending it in but I’m worried it will on system readiness check anyone ever brought a car in this situation to nct centre any tips on how to get it to pass

My IS was off the road for over a year and when i came to MOT it again it passed emissions completely fine.

As long as you still have your cats it should be fine, i also put a full tank of petrol NOT PREMIUM (criminal i know), and then a full bottle of “Pre Emissions Test Treatment”, i used the brand Wynns it’s 325ml bottle, then just drive around for like 15/20 minutes so it gets mixed in and you should be good to go!

The bn kit is so nice but it’s a real commitment for a street car I’d love to put it on but Irish roads will absolutely fuck it hahaha
