Hi Millie -
Your Suzuki is a 'pick up' therefore it's classed as a 'goods vehicle' - ie a 'car derived van, pick-up or truck' according to the manual - so therefore it's NOT a passenger carrying vehicle.
See Note 1 in the flow chart and refer to the second flow chart for NON passenger cars. 
The limits for this vehicle are 3.5% CO + 1200 HC - a NON CAT test - it's all in the book folks.

The car is tested according to age of first use (2000) so it will need to pass the emission rules for that year of car. The fitting of a CAT is not a requirement in itself, but for the levels of emission needed, means you will need one to pass the test.
However if you can provide a letter from the manafacturer stating that this engine cannot meet British emission rules, it can be tested to the next lower standard . In your case a non CAT test. So with some effort on your behalf you can get this car through the MOT test, assuming it can meet 3.5% CO and 1200ppm HC.

Look at the bottom of the page on the left headed "PERSONAL IMPORTS".
good luck

Hi Hope you can help
I have a Suzuki Carry 1.6 Mega Cargo Pick Up
It is an imported model registered 2000 declared made 1999
My question is does it need a cat?
are imported vehicles exempt?
This one has an mot is 1600cc petrol with a carburettor and no cat on the exhaust system and nothng has been taken off since the last mot or replaced, From what I remember cats were not usualy fitted to carburettor model engines or am I wrong?
many thanks in advance for any help
Milly
