I didn't get a printout this year to see how mine compared to its last test - should you normally get one, or is it pretty much irrlevant if it passed anyway ?

If you've had the car for two or more years, an increase to just below may be noteworthy.

The emissions & smoke testers MUST produce TWO copies of the printout as per VOSA's regulations. The printouts must hold details of Test Station number, vehicle reg, mileage, date / time of test & test results. One copy for the VTS to keep for 3 months - The other to give to the vehicle presenter.
If you haven't had one, ask for a photocopy...
If they can't give you a copy, ask yourself 'Did they actually test the emissions ?' - If not, what else wasn't tested...

The place is trusted by the mechanics where I work, so I think its fair to say they're not just taking the money.
I did get a failure a couple of years ago on a tyre I thought had been ok, so I know they're happy enough to fail on borderline stuff...
