As in more than 20 years old ,so next year 1993 will be exempt ??

My old 93 never had a cat and always passed NCT.

No, not a rolling 20years date and its definitely on or before 31st Dec '93 for exemption

YES same car ,but they did not check it !!! I think its the connection between the wheel and the column so easy enough to sort as you suggested .

[leamyj]

Wow, they never checked if the horn was working Standards are slipping
