Mine is due in a month, last year the tester mentioned emmisions a bit high, nothing on the paperwork though.
What can cause them to be a bit high?

I'm not saying i approve of it, or if it even works, but if your having emission problems there is a fluid kit you can buy in halfords, think it was redex kit or something like that. It's called mot emissions kit :nenau

Are they using the right test criteria?
The emissions on the older Td's are worse than the later ones, but the test criteria should be adjusted to suit.:thumb2

I usually thrash mine in each gear, red line it and hold a few seconds, I do this on a 10 mile run, but only after it is at running temperature.
I do it the day before the MOT
Never had any issues with my Td in dare I say it...
in the 19+ years I have owned it...:doh

I've just started adding 2 stroke oil into the fuel tank & i'm sure it's clearing out the crap inside the engine as my emissions were very good but it's also done a couple of long runs to this month plus i've driven it really hard getting the revs right up to blow the crap out

I was always told to let a diesel get up to operating temp, then drive the last half a mile to the test centre in a low gear, and keep the revs to about 3500, this blows the exhaust system through and cleans out any debris from when you first started it that day.
