To anewman,
I don't know how the test is done, But I suspect it is done by simulating the car running a long journey at 60mph possibly on a rolling road. They then measure the emmissions over the period.
It seems to be done basically using the Urban fuel consumption test, which is why I mentioned using the official fuel consumption figures as a comparison to arrive at a rough CO2 figure for older cars.
As a general rule the CO2 emitted is directly proportional to the fossil fuel burnt, so as a rough guide if one car uses twice as much fuel as another car, it also produces about twice the amount of CO2 as the other car.0 -
The MOT test tests Carbon Monoxide levels, not Carbon Dioxide, so any MOT figure is entirely irrelevant.0
