AFAIK the tyres also have to have the same speed and load rating on the same axle not just size. The mot should also check the condition of spare wheel to ensure it hasn't got any defects as long as it's visible. I don't think testers can remove stuff to examine parts. This potentially could cause problems in the future on cars with full underbody covers fitted (like many are doing for efficiency reasons) because it'll be much harder to see corrosion. They're less likely to corrode being covered but as many of you know tin worm sneaks about!
