Hi 2ndtime
To be fair, if your bike is much louder than standard, you should be making it quieter. You can weld a perforated plate at one end and double lag the insert. Failing that, replace the muffler, there's plenty around.
However, if your bike isn't much louder than normal, I wouldn't worry about it. You would have to have '~issed' someone off to have them start decibel testing your bike.
At an MOT, you only have to be within legal limits, not the specified limits of the bike.
Besides, you should locate your biker friendly MOT bays, they can be sympathetic particularly if you take the bike on a trailer - they see your not on the road with it all the time and be more lenient.
