They will go by what is listed on the car's V5 document.

I feel it would have to be the very latest model c200 to have emissions of 130. Anyway, vrt will be based on v5 document as said above

Yeah , from my experience , there are sometimes anomolies in different models. It may help if you have the estimate printed out but usually they look at v5 and calculate vrt themselves. Best of luck:D
