Hi, what I've been advised to do before an MOT is to use two or three tankfuls
of fuel additive in the weeks comming up to the test.
You get them for fuel injected or carb. engines.
They really clean out the engine and I presume you get lower emmissions, as
I've had no trouble with my 1995 480s
Hope this helps.

Also make sure you change the oil before you go that will help also.
