No. All it will be subject to is a smoke opacity test. Strictly speaking, if it was fitted with an oxidising cart converter when new, it should still have one, but the MoT test has no way of knowing if the cat still contains its ceramic core.

I own a 2005 Ford Fusion 1.4 manual petrol. It keeps losing power in second gear, accompanied by a burning smell. I heard two loud bangs in the rear of car as well.
