No. The code simply tells you which bit of the MOT tester manual is being referenced.

All you know from that is that it's not bad enough to fail. It's an 11yr old car...
A leak can be trivial - I had a bad leak, enough to take the dipstick from max to min in <1,000 miles, covering the engine bay and leaving obvious traces wherever the car was parked. It was simply a split rubber hose which cost a few pounds and took half an hour to change.
Yeah, it is worth to replace those parts if haven't in a long time to save some future headache.0
