Yes it is OK to remove the CAT, it can still pass the MOT without.
Look for rust...boot floor, rear body cross member, rear wheel arches, sills, front inner wings.

The cat on a 300tdi isn't a true cat but is more a particulate filter. A 300tdi will easily pass the mot emissions without a cat fitted. If the cat has gone you will probably find the egr is blanked off too.
