Depends if you take it to a nice garage. I helped bump start an NC30 with a flat battery so it could pass an M.O.T.

The electric start is not tested.

But if the lights only work when the engine is running, you have to be able to run the engine to check the lights.

So a TT600 should be fine.

what about checking exhaust, noise ect, bikes have to be running for the MOT, so it all depends if they will let you bump it or not, or if they can do it there and then for you so you can leave the bike running on arrival.
