Your car is only subject to a standard CAT test if it's declared date of first registration is after the 31st July 1995, any EP82 registered in Japan before that date is only required to pass a standard non-CAT idle emissions test for the UK MOT.

I would say they've done a basic cat test, when they should've done a non-cat test. Take it back and get them to do it properly.

Emissions can be heavily affected by fuelling so it may not be a faulty part as such. Do you have any modifications?

Tell them to RTFM!

I'd take the car somewhere else mate, there's plenty of other places that actually know what they're supposed to be doing.
