The UAE takes air quality seriously, and in Dubai, petrol vehicles must pass an emission check with CO levels under 2.5%. If your car’s carbon monoxide reading is too high, it will fail the test—here’s how to get back on the road quickly and compliantly.
Why Carbon Monoxide Matters
Excessive CO means your engine isn’t burning fuel cleanly, which can hurt performance, waste fuel, and harm the environment. Passing the CO test isn’t just a legal formality; it’s a sign your engine is running efficiently.

If your car fails for high CO emissions, we’ve got you covered:

DIY Emission-Reduction Tips
Between professional tune-ups, try these simple steps to help keep CO levels low:
- Use a Fuel-System Cleaner: Add a trusted cleaning agent to your tank every few thousand kilometers to clear out carbon buildup.
- Replace Spark Plugs on Schedule: New plugs ensure complete combustion and lower unburned fuel.
- Keep the Silencer & Exhaust Clear: A quick wipe-down and inspection for blockages help gases exit properly.
- Check Your Air Filter: A clean filter maintains the right air-fuel balance, reducing the chance of excess CO.
