<br /><p>The figures below show how many vehicles and models the VCA has tested for
in-service emissions and those that failed those in-service emissions tests.</p><p><strong></strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>(a)

(0)</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Overall from 2005/06 to 2010/11, 227 individual
tests were completed (76 Petrol, 151 Diesel) and 87 vehicles failed to achieve a pass
for all pollutants (14 Petrol, 73 Diesel).However, it should be noted that the pass
/ fail criteria involved a statistical process looking at the average of the vehicle
tests carried out. This generally involved a minimum of 3 tests, but any individual
failures resulted in more vehicles being tested. Using this process, there were 2
Model Failures (1 Petrol and 1 Diesel).</p><br /><p>Following the work in 2010-2011,
the focus of the VCA’s emissions testing changed to consider aftermarket alteration
of vehicles, both light and heavy duty.</p><br /><p>The figures below show how many
vehicles the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has tested and those that
failed in-service emissions tests. In-service emissions testing is interpreted to
refer to emissions testing through the MOT service. DVSA does not hold figures for
2005/06.</p><br /><p><strong>Car and light Goods vehicles up to 3000k</strong><strong>g
