With standard exhausts the Plus 8 "just" passed the test at Castle Combe.But that was in standard mode and not moving. When driving in Sport Mode it is a lot noisier and has pops and bangs.
It is my understanding that a vehicle has to meet the dB value on the V5, or its homologated reading. Over the years permitted levels have reduced, so older cars can be louder.

IIRC all new cars must comply to 82 db. Most police forces use 90 db as the prosecution threshold this is tested at 50% of max revs in an open area.
