I don’t believe that LPG concerted petrol engines are especially “clean”:

As I understand it if a car was fitted with a cat at manufacture and it has been removed it is now an instant mot fail irrespective of fuel type and emissions. It used to be the case that a cat was not legally required as long as the car could meet the emissions standards.

I removed the cat from my old bmw 530d (basically a td6) and regretted it as it smelt like a tractor! |

Depends where the cat is fitted. If originally behind a cover (think engine tray) then MoT testers are not permitted to remove covers to undertake the MoT. It will, however, need to meet the emissions tests. |
