not much really just emissions are tested on the year of the engine not the year of the car.

some MOT stations may ask for proof of what year the engine is altho most with common sense will know whether its a pre 92 or not

If I did an engine swap and didn't change the log book then the MOT would be the last worry on my mind. I would be more worried about driving uninsured, not correctly taxed and not driving a properly regestered vehicle...
