Have you had the ECM checked?

The ECM controls your fuel to air mixture as well as monitoring the CO2 levels.

Also, have you checked the oxygen sensor, when there's too much oxygen intake,,, the ECM increases fuel to compensate for the excess air, and thus results in more CO2.

Another check would be to find the diagnostic port, (usually under the dashboard), and, to either hire, or borrow an OBD diagnostic tool and see if there is an error code displayed, beginning with 'P', the code will show you what component is likely to be in error for producing the high CO2.

L reg 2L passat high co2 emmisions on high revs

Possible answers are: engine heat is too low (check thermostat), air cleaner dirty (replace), O2 sensor is worn (replace), EGR valve is not working correctly, catalytic converter is failing (replace). Is the check engine light on? If so, rent a scanner, read the code(s), and pursue to repairs. Don't just start replacing parts till it works. Hope this helps.

Ford Mondeo failed its MOT exhaust emisson test

The advice that the garage gave you seems right. If any bushes were worn they would show up on the MOT Test. Try taking it to another garage to check out the Cat for your peace of mind.
