You just beat me to it Dan as I was going to post a link to the manual. In section 2.4 Suspension it states "A missing bump stop is not a reason for rejection". Seems pretty conclusive that it isn't an MOT fail if one is missing.

Thanks for clearing that up LouiseM!!
Different size tyres on the SAME axle will definitely be a FAIL. Any tester should certainly pick that up.

Not allowed at MOT - unless I suppose you fitted two - on the same axle ! They are only permitted at low speed as emergency measure - which is why they are painted orange/yellow etc.

I don't think a missing bumpstop etc in itself will fail. but if the roadwheel can touch the body/chassis because its missing it will (may not be possible on a minor anyway)
