having recently failed my mot with flying colours, i cannot remember if they check/checked the emissions. would they just do a visual check to see if you are pumping out black smoke or would they stick the little tube up the car for a precise reading?

For pre 72 cars (and some years newer too) it is just a visual check for smoke.
Don't worry about the emissions, you need to get new front and rear spring hangers welded in!

Even my 1981 TR7 was just given a 'visual' emissions test at the last MOT........ so it seems to be very much down to the individual tester! Your Minor certainly does NOT get anything more than a visual.
