no its on the engine, if the donor car had a cat, then you need one, if not then it dosnt
a 20XE engine didnot have a cat so will not require one for an MOT where as an C20XE would

ok so we no it needs a cat but does anyone no which one will be best to fit to a corsa just to pass its mot

Had another look into it....it seems we're both right!

Test 'should' be based on whatever is older, engine or chassis. Onus is on owner to prove age of engine/chassis.

Hence my '83 golf on a '93 engine is fine on the basis of the '83 chassis.

And XE in a corsa being...because the Engine is pre '93.
