Check your brake pads are plentiful and the disks aren't pitted.
Make sure your handbrake is tight enough. I think it's meant to be 3 clicks to secure the car?
Got any cracks / stone chips in the windscreen? You might need to fix / replace it.
Do all the seat belts work and are they properly secured?
Condition of spare wheel?
Bulbs the correct colour?
Exhaust blowing / CAT present?

Also get the CAT nice and hot before the test - apparently it's more likely to pass on emissions if it's hot.
