I have a 2008 Kuga 2.0 Diesel
It had an MOT this week and Failed on emissions
I am aware that recently there have been changes to the rules on Diesel emissions standards
The Opacity Value it failed on was 0.48m-1 and the Limit is 0.54
The garage uses some Diesel System Cleaner £15 worth Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
which allowed it to pass the test at the new result of 0.48.

which allowed it to pass the test at the new result of 0.48.Looking back on my results to 2016 the vehicle would of failed since then.
So here is my new dilemma
Is it likely to pass another MOT, perhaps using more Diesel System Cleaner
How often do i need to use Diesel System Cleaner on it
Is it better to trade it in now and get myself a Petrol Fiesta! and be done with it.
I expect may more in my position are probably thinking on similar lines.
