I have just passed the MOT here in Spain.
However because I have had a Daytona exhaust fitted they have asked for a certificate or proof that it is a part approved and or conforms to the original mg part.
The mot station has passed it this year but assures me they will fail it next year if I cant come up with some sort of conformity certificate.
Has anyone come up against this sort of thing in other EU countries.

I don't think you'll get a certificate, as has been mentioned just drop another exhaust on for the ITV, it doesn't take long at all once it's been done for the first time.

Here in Germany the situation is quite similar, officially you will need either a certificate or a type approval number (e-number) stamped into the part itself. Some stations are quite fussy, others look at it in a more - uhm - “liberal” kind of way. I simply don’t use the fussy ones any more …

Thanks for the replies, I will try another station that is more friendly and it fails I will swop out each year.
