If you buy a pre 1993 2.0 engine without a Cat on as standard will it fail the MOT or does it go on the age of the engine?

Pretty sure its age of car, although it may be worth checking out for definate before you go ahead.

No it should go on the age of the engine.  You may need some proof that the engine is from a pre-cat era!
