the car is one of the latest mini's
and i believe the emmissions is done on engine age not car age?

it is but you need to prove the age of the engine to the tester at time of the test.

They will test the car to the standard of which ever is the oldest (the car or engine). So if the engine is from say 89 (random year) and you can prove its age you should be fine. Its just proving its age which might be difficult.

look theres a carb and engine hasnt been painted for 15 years ;)
hopefully try and find the original car! (just looked up the block number and its a unipart replacement)
so finding original car unlikely!
