EMISSIONS FAILURE ON THE RISE: WHY INDEPENDENT GARAGES MUST BE READY TO CHAMPION THE AFTERMARKET
3. Fuel Vaporisers Most used in Ford vehicles for DPF
regeneration, a failed vaporiser often spells trouble for emissions compliance. VXPRO fuel vaporisers maintain consistent spray
patterns to support clean and complete soot burn-off.
4. Lambda Sensors A degraded or failing lambda sensor can cause rich running, increased CO emissions, and poor fuel economy. VXPRO sensors are tested for accuracy, response speed, and durability under tough real- world conditions. Support, Not Just Supply VXPRO emissions components are backed by a 5-year warranty, offering peace of mind to garages and customers alike. But parts alone aren’t enough. That’s why ELTA supports independents with our ASSIST platform: • TechASSIST Diagnostic and fitting advice from real experts • StockASSIST Smart stocking strategies tailored to local demand • BrandASSIST Marketing and campaign assets to help you sell with confidence Together, they help independent businesses not just survive in today’s landscape — but thrive. The Road Ahead As regulations tighten and vehicle systems grow more complex, independents need more than just a supplier. They need a partner. With VXPRO and ELTA, you have a team that understands the pressure, delivers the quality, and stands by your side. MOT/NCT failures aren’t going away — but with the right parts and support, your customers can drive away happy. Be the garage that others recommend to solve problems. Champion the Aftermarket with VXPRO.
M OT and NCT emissions failures have surged in recent years, and the numbers are impossible to ignore. Even today, emissions remain one of the top causes of MOT failure. DVSA data for Q1 2024 shows “Noise, emissions and leaks” now account for over 3% of initial failures and nearly 6% of retest failures — that’s almost 1 in 30 vehicles falling foul of emissions regulations1. For independent garages and motor factors, these statistics represent both a challenge and a call to action. With tightening emissions rules and an ageing vehicle parc, customers need expert guidance, trustworthy parts, and proactive support more than ever. That’s where ELTA and VXPRO come in — helping the aftermarket fight back. This is the essence of our Champion the Aftermarket campaign: empowering independents to outperform main dealers by delivering exceptional service, backed by high-quality, OE-matching parts and real-world support. Emissions Components That Keep Customers on the Road ELTA’s VXPRO range offers a premium selection of emissions-critical components designed for the demands of the modern aftermarket — including EGR valves, EGR coolers, exhaust gas temperature sensors (EGTS), exhaust pressure sensors, fuel vaporisers, and lambda (oxygen) sensors. Each of these plays a vital role in keeping emissions within legal limits — and ensuring vehicles pass MOTs the first time.
1. Exhaust Gas Recirculation(EGR) Valves & Coolers A blocked or malfunctioning EGR valve is one of the most common causes of high NOx emissions in diesels. VXPRO EGR valves and coolers are engineered for durability and accurate flow, helping restore efficiency and reduce MOT failure risk.
2. Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGTS) & Exhaust Pressure Sensors These sensors are key to proper DPF function and regeneration. When they fail or send inaccurate readings, the DPF can clog, triggering dashboard lights, limp mode, and of course, MOT failures. VXPRO sensors ensure accurate readings and consistent ECU communication.
