How old does a cat have to be before it has to do an MoT.
I know my dog would fail due to his exhaust system

He did go a bit lacerating-talons-of-fury when they plugged in the diagnostic reader, mind.

Best thing to do was to chop him in for a different model with a lower CaC score

Pleased to see that the last one is still running, with 115k on as of Sept last year and no advisories other than tyres.
Frankly though, I'm shocked to find that my first car was still on the road until December last year, although it sounds like it was on its last legs:
Reason(s) for failure
Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)
nearside Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)
Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)
nearside front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)
Advisory notice item(s)
excess travel footbrake
offside front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
nearside door mirror missing

I said to him "I know it needs some stuff doing. If you wait a week, I'll get a new MOT put on it."
Instead, he was being really pissy. I told him that if he wants, it can be sold as seen, and he can be responsible for any work.
He took me up on that. Below is the report from a month later.
Reason(s) for failure
nearside front Headlamp not working on main beam (1.7.5a)
offside front Windscreen wiper not operating over a large enough area to give an adequate view (8.2.1c)
offside front Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)
Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)
Advisory notice item(s)
nearside front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
nearside rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
offside front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
