MOT emissions test should be done when engine is up to operating temperature so it is their responsibility to ensure it is up to temp. If the garage has temp probe they should insert it in place of oil dipstick to ensure oil temp is up to requirements, if not then check temp gauge in car, if not working then check that electric cooling fan kicks in irrc.
When replacing track rod end make sure that wheel alignment is adjusted as required including constant "S" which is often missed and result in excessive tyre wear mostly on inside.
