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.<\/p>
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.<\/p>
The models that were tested by VCA in the last ten years can be found in the table below.<\/p>

The models subject to this test would cover every manufacturers model range subject to the MOT test during this period.<\/p> The Department for Transport does not hold information on work carried out by other testing authorities.<\/p> Action taken by the Vehicle Certification Agency is below;<\/p> In the last 10 years, two models failed the tests. They were:<\/p> 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.<\/p> 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.<\/p> 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.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p>"}
