Possibly the most stupid question ever. However curiosity....

When an MOT tester tests your car and he looks at the year of the vehicle to determine the acceptable emissions level regarding the cat. Is this done purely on the vehicle year of registration? Or technically should it really be done by engine code? As in could a phase 1 renault 19 technically fail if it had a de-cat exhaust system, and had a later phase 2 or 3 engine? Confused
