Yes, if there's visible leak on a fuel injector can lead to an MOT failure. Any leaks in the fuel system will normally lead to an MOT failure, and hence it is possible the same can happen for an injector. However, injectors are usually hidden beneath engine covers which are not removed during an MOT so the chances of an MOT tester being able establish a visible leak with the injectors is small.
