The MOT station doesn't care what design your rear suspension is as long as it in good condition ie no play in bearings and doesn't bind. There are plenty of cars with de dion set ups that pass mots every year.
No need to get excited. Lighten up!
You completely missed my point...
I know that it doesn't matter what you have for an MOT
I was pointing out that going for all the expense of replacing the whole rear end design on a car that spends less than a minute of every year doing quarter mile runs is a bit excessive.
