To recap.
MOT rules.
The spare tyre is not a testable item.
If the spare is missing as long as you have no other failures, the car will pass.
If the spare is defective (bald tyre or flat) the MOT tester should give you a VT32 (Advisory form), which advises you of the problem.
The spare wheel if it's suspended under the car on a carrier must be secure.
The Law.
It is not against the law to drive a car without a spare wheel.

However if you have a spare wheel in your car, it must legal.

With the computerised system it's impossible to fail it, so geggsy you're talking rubbish.
There is no fail criteria for having no spare wheel.
The only thing mentioned about the spare in the Tester's Manual is:-
Check that any externally fitted spare wheel and/or carrier Is securely attached to the vehicle.
That's it.
If you saw someone fail a car for that, he was wrong. End of story.
