Skoda Superb 1.9 tdi 59 plate - have the diesel smoke tests pass mark been lowered - skippy41

Last year when I bought my 59 plate Skoda 1.9 tdi it passed the emissions test at 1.29, the pass being 3.00. This year, it passed again at 1.29, but the pass was 1.50, so have they reduced the pass by 1.50, or has the tester put the wrong figures in, even though I could see that it was my car on the computer screen

I checked last years print out to check this

Looks like the wrong details were entered for last years test.

For vehicles used on or before 1st July 2008 the limit is 3.00m for turbocharged (2.50m for non turbocharged)

For vehicles used after 1st July 2008 it's 1.50m for both turbo and non turbo.

The tester must have selected incorrectly last year, but the right one this time round ?
