No fail. If they moan, tell them you want proper decibel level testing done, and then they can compare it to the legal requirements ( of which there is none )
silencer fitted to vehicle which emits more noise than that of a simular vehicle [testers discretion]

New changes to the legislation state that all cars registered after 1st September 2001 must include the name and postcode of the plate supplier as well as the BS AU 145d marking. If either of these markings are not included, the vehicle will fail its MOT test.
Number plates must also be displayed as the standard reflective yellow and white plates with black lettering. The lettering must conform to the standard size and font and the plates must not have any emblems or logos (other than the standard GB/England/Wales/Scotland emblems) and should not be cracked, damaged or osbcured by dirt in any way.

This document shows that I may wear the small size lettering on the front plate (recess provided by manufacturer will not accomodate a standard size plate) and yet I still have to have a BSAU mark?
Since manufacturers cannot make me a standard size plate to fit, they cannot put a BSAU mark on the plate because it no longer complies with the British Standard, yet I can wear a plate that does not comply with the British Standard (as above), yet it still has to have a BSAU mark on it to pass an MOT!

I think you've got it wrong. I have smaller than 'normal' plates (about 14" x 4.5") because I have a short registration number. That doesn't stop them having a BS mark. However, if I go somewhere that it not a registered numberplate supplier there is no BS mark. It's just down to what kind of blank they make the plate from.

The above link shows the withdrawal of that requirement as part of the test. All MOT stations should have recieved that in early November 2007.
If you have been failed because of that you should probably print out that notice and go and question it with the station.
