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>

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> Following the work in 2010-2011, the focus of the VCA\u2019s emissions testing changed to consider aftermarket alteration of vehicles, both light and heavy duty.<\/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.
