Citroen C3 Failing MOT on Emissions - Need Advice!
Summary of the thread
A 2013 Citroen C3 is repeatedly failing its MOT due to emissions issues. The owner suspects that replacing the catalytic converter, as suggested by garages, may not be the root cause. The car is primarily used for short trips, which might contribute to carbon build-up. A suggested solution is to take the car for longer highway drives to reach optimal engine temperature and potentially improve emissions by clearing out carbon deposits.

Consider taking your car for a longer drive on the highway to allow the engine to reach optimal operating temperature and help clear out any carbon build-up, which can improve emissions. This is sometimes referred to as an "Italian tune-up." After doing this, see if there's any improvement in the engine's performance and emissions. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
