I wouldnt worry if you dont have to. my car has 190,000 miles on it and in 14 years I have never had it near a T4. When the MAF's failed it was always pretty obvious from the loss of power in the low rev range.

There is a huge margin of safety below the smoke limit in an MOT. Mine have never come close to failing usually coming in at less than half of the limit.
