If your vehicle fails you are knowingly driving it on the road with defects which is why plod could do you, if my company fail a car we try to repair it in the next 2 days (not always possible), VOSA told us not to do pre MOTs as this does not give them a true measure of the types of defects vehicles have (as the defects have been repaired before the test and are not recorded on the system).
If you worried about falling off your bike, you'd never get on.
