Tests which were undertaken by the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) include the in service light duty testing programme, which were conducted in accordance with the New European Drive Cycle requirements. Aftermarket alterations tests were conducted in accordance with the European Transient Cycle and North London Delivery Truck Cycle. Light duty emissions followed the New European Drive Cycle requirements. The models that were tested by VCA in the last ten years can be found in the table below. <table><tbody><tr><td>Vehicle Model</td><td>Year of testing</td></tr><tr><td>Audi A4 Petrol EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>BMW 320TD Diesel EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Fiat Punto 1.3l Multijet Diesel EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Ford Fiesta 1.6l Petrol EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Mazda 6 TS 2.0l EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Mercedes A170 Diesel Euro III</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Mercedes C220 2.2l Diesel EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Mitsubishi Carisma Petrol Euro III</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Mitsubishi Spacestar 1.6l Petrol EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Toyota Corolla 1995cc Diesel EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Vauxhall Vectra 1.8l 16V Petrol EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Vauxhall Zafira 1.6l 16V Petrol EIV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>VW Golf 2.0l TDI Diesel IV</td><td>2005/06</td></tr><tr><td>Audi A4 Petrol EIV</td><td>2006/07</td></tr><tr><td>BMW 320TD Diesel EIV</td><td>2006/07</td></tr><tr><td>Fiat Punto 1.3l Multijet Diesel EIV</td><td>2006/07</td></tr><tr><td>Mada RX8 2.6l Petrol EIV</td><td>2006/07</td></tr><tr><td>Toyota Corolla 1995cc Diesel EIV</td><td>2006/07</td></tr><tr><td>Vauxhall Vectra 1.8l 16V Petrol EIV</td><td>2006/07</td></tr><tr><td>Vauxhall Zafira 1.6l 16V Petrol EIV</td><td>2006/07</td></tr><tr><td>VW Golf 2.0l TDI Diesel IV</td><td>2006/07</td></tr><tr><td>Fiat Punto 1.3l Multijet Diesel EIV</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>Ford 1.8ltr Connect</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>Ford Focus 1.6ltr</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>LDV Maxus 2.5ltr 120PS</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>Peugeot 307 1.6ltr</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>Peugeot Partner 1.6HDI</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>Porsche Boxster 3.2l EIV</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>Renault Clio 1.5D 86bhp</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>VW Golf 2.0l TDI Diesel IV</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>VW Transporter 2.5ltr 130PS</td><td>2007/08</td></tr><tr><td>Alfa Romeo 1.9l TDI EIV</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>BMW 523i 2.5l EIV</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>BMW Mini One D</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>BMW X5 3.0l TD EIV</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>Ford Focus 1.6l TD EIV</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>Renault Scenic 2.0l Dci 150 EIV</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>Smart FourTwo 698cc EIV</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>Subaru Forester 2.0l EIV</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>Vauxhall Astra Twintop 1.8l EIV</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>VW Golf 2.0l TDI Diesel IV</td><td>2008/09</td></tr><tr><td>Citreon C3 1.6l EIV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>Ford Focus ST 2.5l EIV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>Honda Civic ES IMA Hybrid 1.3l EIV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>Honda FR-V 2.2l TD EIV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>Jaguar X Type 2.2l TD EIV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>Kia Rio 1.5l TD EIV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>Skoda Octavia Tdi 2.0l EIV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>Toyota Yaris Tdi 1.4l EIV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>VW Golf 2.0l TDI Diesel IV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>VW Touran 1.4l EIV</td><td>2009/10</td></tr><tr><td>Chevrolet Matiz 0.8l EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr><tr><td>Fiat 500 1.2l EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr><tr><td>Ford Mondeo 2.2l Duratorq EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr><tr><td>Honda FR-V 2.2l TD EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr><tr><td>Hyundai i10 1.1l EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr><tr><td>Jaguar X Type 2.2l TD EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr><tr><td>Kia Rio 1.5l TD EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr><tr><td>Smart FourTwo 1.0l EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr><tr><td>Vauxhall Corsa 1.3l CDTi EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr><tr><td>Vauxhall Vectra 1.9l CDTi EIV</td><td>2010/11</td></tr></tbody></table> As reported previously, following the work in 2010-2011, the focus of emissions testing changed to consider aftermarket alteration of vehicles, both light and heavy duty.

answer text

Action taken by the Vehicle Certification Agency is below; In the last 10 years, two models failed the tests. They were: <ul><li>Mitsubishi Carisma Petrol Euro III (2005/2006 test)</li><li>BMW Mini One D (2008/2009 test)</li></ul> In-service testing requires a minimum of three tests in order to achieve meaningful statistical results, although up to 20 vehicles may need to be tested. Where a fail decision is reached the series production is deemed to have failed, and the Approval Authority for the vehicle should be contacted to inform them of the test result. In the Case of BMW Mini the KBA (German approval authority) were informed to enable them to take action. In the case of the Mitsubishi the manufacturer was contacted directly and a number of anomalies were found with the test vehicle that could account for the failed result. In this case, the approval authority was again the KBA. Following further discussion with the manufacturer, no further action was taken. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency has not taken any action against any vehicle manufacturer as a result of in service emission testing during the past 10 years.
