all i would do is give it a good red lining to clear the poo inside the cat coz wer it stands all carbon and poo builds up changin the co2 emmisions. give it good harash raggin then take i back to the garage wen the engines still warm coz on cold start the engine needs to hold a steady speed so more fuel is injected in. keep it idlin. make sure the engine is a operatin temp or it myt strugle to pass :D

if you havent been driving it much for a year how old is the petrol if its been sat in the tank a long time it might not be burning well. this might not help but its best to check everything.
