Pretty flabbergasted to hear that my 3 year old SVR has just failed it’s MOT on .... Emissions

What the Hell ....

Never heard of this on any of my previous cars - even ones nearly 10 years old

Just when I thought things were settling down with this car

Bahhhh SVR with a few bits from Urban and Glohh

yesterday on a 7 yr old 3.0 rear brake lines corroded, luckily covered under the MOT insurance which is part of the 2 yr warranty, still feels like a kick in the nuts though

Is yours covered by warranty for the emissions failure? 3 yrs old is not what you expect to hear failing

New emissions law comes in in may,,the tester hasn't had their machine updated & done them to the new readings has he/she,,,,,what as it actually failed on because no 3 year old car should really fail on emissions especially petrols.

Presumably, you presented your car for test before it's 3yr aniversary, that is to say it is still under the manufacturers warranty. I would suggest it's failed because of a component that has failed, so take it back to JLR and tell them to fix it under warranty. Unless, as has been suggested, the tester has cocked it up.

So, it passed on the second test after a kind JLR technician took it for a 'drive' up the motorway to ... clear its throat.

Then they told me I needed 4 new tires  SVR with a few bits from Urban and Glohh

Sounds to me like somebody is trying to make some additional profits out of you.. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Or wanted an excuse to take the car out for a burn. Just checked my remote app and they achieved a cool 15mpg on a motorway trip... SVR with a few bits from Urban and Glohh
