What are you scanning it with? If the EML is on then there will be a fault recorded, you just need to use the right tool to read it with.

I'd imagine its the lambda sensor or air meter throwing up a fault.
Might be the cat either.
But there is a fault and the mechanic is missing it.

Edit: just guessing as the fact there is nothing wrong feeling with the car.
