I can't imagine a hot exhaust actually touching your fuel tank is that safe. . .MOT failure or not.

Exhaust musn't be touching the car in any way other than the rubber hangers.
Man handle the exhaust away from the car and cable tie it. As long as it doesn't touch when the tester checks the stability of the exhaust then you're ok.
