Cable ties are fine and not an MOT failure. I personally use 2 cable ties next to each nice and tight and no probs. In my opinion better than the metal clips. My girlfriend's car has had the proper metal clips come off before.

there is a special tool for crimping them ,i brought one and if you want to come to devon you can borrow it
,it crimps and pushes at the same time and has a hole so you can actually torque them up with a torque wrench.
Cable ties are pants and with a lowered car the shafts are at a nasty angle and the boots fall off.
