Loose front bumper - 13mm spanner mate

No internal rear view mirror - 25p sticky pad and 2 mins, if you need a mirror, might be £3 from the scrappy

Worn CV joint, the boots are fine but its noisey when driven/turning - didn't think an MOT testers gonna be driving it

loose front bumper shouldnt fail as long is it isnt too bad.
rear view mirror doesnt matter as long as you have 2 wing mirrors
cv joints dont matter - its boots that matter

i'm sorry to correct you but you can fail a worn c.v. joint i will find the correct wording tomorrow if you want
what you do with the car on a ramp with the wheels on the ground you grab the drive shaft and try to twist it , you allowed for wear and tear but excsessive movment is a fail .
i'm prity sure on that one ??

yup a cv joint will fail

the front bumper will also fail it it's too loose

and the interior mirror will also fail if you only have 1 wing mirror

surely a rearview mirror isnt a necessity, as vans etc... dont have one as you cant see through the vehicle?
