Does frequent short‑distance city driving o r delayed maintenance affect Tiggo 4’s emissions — and could that cause failure in emissions test?

Emissions problems often worsen if the engine/exhaust components aren’t regularly maintained — e.g. dirty air filter, old spark plugs o r clogged injectors disturb combustion, leading to higher pollutant output.

Short trips and stop-and-go driving prevent the engine and catalytic converter from reaching optimal operating temperature, which reduces the efficiency of the emission system.

Delayed maintenance like dirty air filters, worn spark plugs, o r clogged fuel injectors reduces combustion efficiency, increasing emissions.

Maintaining a regular service schedule and ensuring the car reaches proper running temperature can help reduce emission problems.
