An exposed chain on the top of the swinging arm is considered unsafe and therefore an MOT failure

No, just an advisory. Mine passed on Tuesday without a chain guard on.

When I was in Stoke on Trent 3 years ago collecting a bike, a fellow came in on a Bandit to book an MOT and they told him to go and put a chain guard on it as it would fail the MOT without it.  :rolleyes

I have a chain guard for fzs1000, if it fits you can have it for the price of the postage

I've got a chainguard someone can have for the price of postage too. It's dirty, but I've only taken it off because I've fitted a hugger. It's from my fzs600.

change your MoT place, the one you use isn't professional. Something like this for an advisory is incompetent, as it riding a bike without some form of chain guard.
