   shouldn't affect your MOT as the brakes work! they check the front seperate to the back anyway don't they?
   as you've stripped it out it's obviously lighter, the rear brakes don't have to work as hard to stop the wheels going around. I donno if you can adjust the bias on saxos (I'm new to saxo's, always been a Ford man) or if you'd need to get a bias valve fitted, but sounds like you could do with more bias towards the front. Or reinstall everything to push the rear wheels down.....
