Simples.! Put the CAT back on for MOT or find a friendly MOT tester which are hard to find as they are sticking there neck out and only likely to consider helping trusted/known/friends.

Failing that a sports CAT & remap and keep it legal and not have to stress next MOT.

I run a sports cat in mine in the mid section, only have issues if the car is stone cold for the test.

I used to put a cat back on for the mot, then went sports cat and remap. Little different in performance and always past the MOT.

New MOT regulations also state a visual inspection as to if the Cat (or cats) is in place.
