This is the reply a had from, Approvals.Technical@dvsa.gov.uk

Good Afternoon Terry,

Many thanks for your email inquiry,

Evidence of the date of manufacture of the engine will be required at the time of inspection to determine the emissions limits for the vehicle. The donor vehicle registration document (V5) may be acceptable evidence, where it indicates the engine to be the original engine fitted to the donor
vehicle.

Alternatively the proof can be:
a letter from the engine manufacturer
a letter from a recognised authority (such as an engine or vehicle manufacturer).
Evidence from a technical publication/manual.

You need to follow the flow charts in section 02B of the IVA M1 inspection manual to find the exact emission limits which for example shows that a vehicle with an engine ‘effective date’ of 1991 would be CO<= 3.5% and HC <=1200ppm.

I hope you found this information useful but if I can be of further assistance then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards
