All new plugs, and all readings on emissions where very good for m.o.t although it was misfiring at the time.

Its not a bad mis but you can feel it all the time.somtime feels worse when cold. cheers.

Is the misfire anengine code or is it just the sensation? Have you checked the engine codes yet?If so what were the codes in order?
By misfire do you mean rough at idle or sluggish acceleration or bucking at high or low rpms?
Please give me more to go on so I can maybe guide you to some helpfull answers.
