Found this quote.
"I've had a quick word with my MOT tester, and he says that he will have to wait until he logs on his MOT computer for my test before he can advise me whether the system has the car recorded as having ABS as standard or optional. He says that if it was fitted as standard, then it HAS to be present and working in the right sequence to pass. If it listed as optional, and is present , it must also work correctly to pass, and fair enough, that's the test!"
Doesn't look promising.

It seems that way.
If it was optional and has been totally removed then the tester wouldn't know if it was previously fitted (presumably).

As someone who works for a car insurance company, I would say go very careful. If you have a serious accident and have disabled the ABS and gained an MOT out of it, then at best you wont be covered for your own damages.
Worse case you kill someone and your really in the 5hit
