To run that once, you can use --extern switch of the mtr, although I'd expect that many tests wouldn't work with it. But generally the tests like yours are done in mysql-test by having the old data files in the std_data directory and copying them into the datadir in the test file. See, for example, the test for BUG#36055 in the repair.test file.
