This topic is now the subject of a thread on another popular motoring forum, and I'be just done a quick search of the MOT Inspection Manual online to confirm it could be an issue.
The manual says: "Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp."
This is in the latest edition published in January 2021.

For anyone with modified headlights it looks like a solution will need to be found.
