Any dashboard light now is an automatic failure.

Are you certain? I'd heard somewhere that an ABS, ESP or airbag light is a fail, but engine management light is ok

Had a look on NI Direct there - stage 3 of the test has this:

"vehicle warning lights including, anti-lock braking system, electronic braking system, electronic power steering, electronic stability control, electronic park brake, brake fluid warning lamp, tyre pressure monitoring system, air bag, seat belt pretensioner and seat belt load limiter"

No mention of EML

You're right EML is fine.

What is the point of the MOT certificate then?

You need it to pass on if you are selling the vehicle or trading it in.
