Just purchased a vehicle (petrol) Citroen C1 that had a new MOT on purchase.

The car failed the MOT a few days prior to the car passing. One of the fails was “Emissions unable to be completed Exhaust leak (8.2.1.2 (d))”

When I purchased the car there was still a slight blow with the exhaust which was acceptable because of the price of the car and new exhausts are cheap for C1’s.

However, I have now found that the car appears to be using excessive oil, little smoke out of the exhaust and no oil leaks.

When I checked the documentation it included the new MOT but there was no emission test report. Is it statutory to be provided with an emission test report when the vehicle passes the MOT? If it is can a copy be requested?
