Default mot testers, is this a fail?!

Long story short the gf took her skyline to a garage as it failed the mot to have work done, it went past the mot retest date so they re tested it there for her and had to replace 2 front bushes which they did amongst other things which ended up costing a fortune, but passed.

Long story short i went outside to grease up thr front bushs as they squeak and they said they prob just need more grease in to find the nipples snapped off, which means it couldnt have even been done in the first place, but thats not my main concern......

What has concerned me MOT wise is when i jacked it up i noticed the brake hoses on BOTH sides have splits in so u can see the reinforcemnt underneath, what i need to know from the pics is this a fail on the mot as to me i would have thought it would have been, plus i dont remember them being like that when we put the car back together and back on the road (she got it from the garage she used 2 work at and had an engine rebuild which meant the whole front subframe/engine/box came out and back in again) which means they were possibly damaged when they fitted the bushes and not said anything.

so basically need to know if it should have passed or not like that, one for the testers out their please!!!
