My 100HP is going in for its annual service and MOT tomorrow, however I noticed today that that bump stop on the passenger side is totally loose inside the spring .
I can't get the bumpstop out (the coils of the spring are too close together) and the other side is still attached.
According to the VOSA inspection manual for class 3-7 vehicles, a missing bump stop rubber is not a reason to fail an MOT. However, unsurprisingly, it doesn't mention bump stops being trapped in your spring:

Does anyone know if I'm about to waste my money bothering to have it MOT'd whilst the bump stop is loose? I guess I could just get the garage to cut it in half and chuck it away during the service, which will obviously be done prior to the MOT.
Any advice on the matter will be greatly appreciated.
