I am sure it would fail, as it would be seen as reducing the light effectiveness, unless it is a very, very small area.

Depends how tame your MOT man is, and how bad it is

 

Maybe take it and ask him first

Rust inside a headlight is not an instant fail, it depends on its affect on light output and beam image.
