My car is due an MOT and has a hole in the rear silencer. Would this fail an MOT because of this?

It may.
Extracts from testers manual:
Reason for rejection
A major leak of exhaust gases from any part of the system
Note: A minor exhaust leak from, for example, a connection joint or a pin hole, is not a Reason for Rejection
Note: A durable repair to an exhaust system which effectively prevents leaks is acceptable providing the system is structurally sound

My local garage allows a patched silencer as long as there are no leaks.
