Cat fucked probs

I had to run mine with 2 cats for last mot! One in manifold (STD) and one underneath because it had. Vtr engine in 1.1 shell though

And as said try a load of red ex and make sure it's hot as can be when they test it! Thrash it there if you have to

How old is the cat?

Exhaust blowing?

Try cleaning lambda sensors.

i not sure on cat thinking new cat and new filter and new lambda sensor may help it a bit and is 512 bad or not to bad

try cleaning/ replacing the lambda first, then move onto replacing the cat
