I threw all things abs over my shoulder six or so years ago. like you a drove around with the abs fuse out until mot time. coming mot time I put the fuse back in but the light didn't go out, I read the fault codes and two sensors were down. I hated abs on my cruiser so I was damned if I was going to spend a small fortune on repairing it.
I took out all things abs and re plumbed it, I'm not saying the brakes are any better but there was certainly a sharper feel at the pedal.
when I took the car for its mot I told the tester I had took out the abs. he was a little shocked and didn't know what to do so he got the owner, I told the gaffer that after much research if all traces of the abs are removed there shouldn't be a problem and the car was on the "change over year" so some don't have abs. he was happy with this.
I suppose it was at his discretion if he passed the car or not so I cant really advise you on this lorin, ask your tester first? change testers? funnily enough the business has been taken over by new owners, on turning the ignition on and looking for the abs light the new tester seemed surprised it didn't have abs. I told him it was on the "change over year" and some do some don't. he shrugged his shoulders and carried on....
