Yes, there is a cat:

And no, it won't fail the MOT as the only emissions test on a diesel is a soot test.

Thanks for quick reply, where is it located?

It's just after the DPF.

The DPF is the big lump, the cat is the smaller lump below it just after the sensor...

Ok cheers mate

mot side of things ive read yes and no.

Some state all parts such as cat/dpf need to be in place and if not visable its a instant fail.

Ive actually contacted VOSA to verify for me as im interested in getting a removal done too

Who is doing this for you op??

It's just after the DPF.

The DPF is the big lump, the cat is the smaller lump below it just after the sensor...

that smaller lump is a flex pipe, the cat and dpf are all in one in the big lump
