Hi guys, just had my glanza v m.o.t'd on friday and it failed on exhaust emissions and my ABS light is showing even though the ABS is working fine?

I still have my catalytic converter on..here are the results:

Fast Idle Test: - Actual Value:
CO: 0.30 % VOL - 0.15% VOL - PASS
HC: 200PPM VOL - 31 PPM VOL - PASS
0.970-1.030 - 1.349 - FAIL

Second Fast Idle Test:
CO: 0.30% VOL - 0.08 % VOL - PASS
HC: 200PPM VOL - 12 PPM VOL - PASS
0.970-1.030 - 1.496 - FAIL

NATURAL IDLE TEST - PASS

This is my first m.o.t with the car and i have no idea to fix this....the mechanic said i could just have a blow in my exhaust?

Any suggestions guys....would appreciate if you could help.....

THANKS :)

First guess would be an exhaust leak between the engine and the cat. Possible causes could be a cracked exhaust manifold or the manifold/turbo gasket leaking.

Deffo mani or exhaust leak! The cat is in good condition!
If the ABS light is always on then it has a fault and you won't pass mot, and it doesn't work if it's on - how do you know if the abs is working on not? it will brake either way but you will notice the difference in the rain and snow.
