I'm sure I read somewhere that they were considering failing vehicles that had been remapped. Quite how they'd be able to do this for ever type of vehicle I don't know. Maybe that's why it's not been pursued.


From a friend who has a direct contact in VOSA, he has got this regarding the remapping question.

Quote:
"There will be quite a few changes to the MOT test next year but checking the mapping or "chipping" of ECUs is not included. A visual check to see if the emission control equipment has been modified is included in Directive 2010/48/EU but has not been considered a valid inspection as most are hidden under covers or behind trim etc and it is not always obvious that they have been modified (e.g electronically)..

I do not know of any future intention to include it but that is not to say that it will not happen at some time in the future."


As others have said, you need specialised vehicle model specific software (and keep it up to date) to even start down the line of checking for remapping. I'm sure many MOT stations would go out of business if this was forced on them.
