Nolan, Keep in mind that the MOT process is more stringent than most of our safety inspections here in the States. I took my then 4 year old Spitfire in for MOT, and it failed for rusty brake lines. The Stag I had at VTR/TRF would never be allowed on the roads in the UK. I don't want to say that they nit-pick, but the inspectors do go through the car with a pretty fine tooth comb.
Richard, Hopefully you will find another tub with which you can revive the sleeping Daffy.
