No he was wrong.
It'll only fail if you don't have a cat when you should.

No at the moment you don't need one as long as you pass emmisisons, they're making them compulsive.

This is a fairly good bit of info...

I also think that it is the way the tester interprets the new regs....

depends how much of a cunt the tester is i suppose.
I always get the impression that generally the older testers dont really like it when you start modifying things like exhausts and suspension and usually seem a bit rude as though you've done something wrong...
Some testers will fail for being too loud. My car has a 4inch peco with a decat and is very loud yet doesnt seem to bother my mot tester at all.
Theres always been a decibel limit which police can catch you out on (depending on how strict they are round your way)
