Nope, the main axle/bolt should be threaded on one end, done up to 67Nm, the pinch bolt is a locking method. The MOT would just look for loose or obviously worn bolts/nuts, as loong the there was no play and the axle was fully seated it would pass an MOT.
You either get the lower leg rethreaded or replace it.
