The cheatware detects when a motor undergoes emissions testing, and
then

how is that possible?

Many things are unique about a rolling road, like one set of wheels
going
round and round the the brake on the other set, then the steering is
fixed
straight ahead...

That wouldn't work for me, my tester checks exhaust emissions before
hitting
the rolling road.


The MOT doesn't test CO and NOx, yet!


Does test CO...IIRC


Looking at the info that I've received with each MOT pass certificate, there
are only "smokemeter" opacity measurements of around 0.2-0.3 in units of
1/m, where the limit is 3.0. Maybe other figures are tested but aren't
included in the paperwork that the garage gives me.

I'm sure when I had my petrol cars tested there were figures for CO2 and CO
in ppm.
