With the bike on the main stand, rear wheel in the air, if you put it into gear and let the rear wheel turn with the engine just ticking over on idle the rear swing arm chatters for side to side like you would not believe (in a twisting movement) and the whole bike dances around on the main stand...From that description it sounds as though the swingarm bearings are shot (or missing), but there's no way it could pass an MOT in that condition if the tester was doing his job.
