I had an idea about this that could make some people a lot of money IF VOSA (or DVLA or whoever) would allow you to retest the emission levels of the
car.
If they would accept a new test with new CO figures, is there a way a car could be de-tuned to reduce the CO figures either by engine mapping or
fitting some other clever device?
I'm sure there would be loads of people out there that would quite happliy have a slower car if it saved them a couple of hundred quid a
year.
Is this possible?

Surely a Q plate should be taxed on the engine capacity. So for a 2l the tax should be £185.

So is that how it works - based on engine capacity for our cars?
When you look up for cars registered after 2001 they are emmissions based. I dont even have emissions on my V5.
Still think £200 a year is a rip off for limited mileage cars.

So what happens with a car like mine, first registered in 2006, with a 2.9 ltr engine, (1989). Cheers Ray
