Oh it will do it won't really effect the tested values, nitrogen oxide I think might increase a bit but the EGR valve will be (should!) be closed at idle anyway...

Its debatable if the tester 'see's "disabled emissions equipment" if they can fail it or not though, I think they were planning to tighten this up, they may of done already I'm not sure. An example of this is say removing the cat on a diesel car (a model without DPF!) , it will still "pass" but the tester knows "originally this had a cat fitted"

As far as I know, a diesel of that age is still only subject to the 'Snap Idle' test (i.e. Smoke Test). No check is made on the levels of NOx emissions which may rise in case of disabled EGR.
