No it wont fail.... it is secure when closed... you only need to pull the cable tie to open it

You need to be able to open it from the outside though, dummy it up for the mot and have a peice of string hanging out to pull...
I used a cable tie as they tent not to snap.

What do you mean no boot handle?
I don't understand, the boot closes by a little catch on the bottom. As long as this catch is there it won't fail pretty sure opening the boot isn't required to pass the mot just impractical.
