From the MOT Manual section 5.2.3

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-inspection-manual-for-motorcycles/5-wheels-tyres-and-suspension

 

Additionally, motocross tyres, tyres designated by their manufacturer as racing tyres and tyres marked ‘NHS’ or ‘NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE’ on the sidewall are also unsuitable, unless the tyre sidewall is marked with:

an ‘E’ in a circle

an ‘e’ in a rectangle

JIS (Japanese industry standard)

DOT (American standard)

And if the marking was on the tyre a little effort with a sanding disc would remove the wording apparently if you have a strict tester.

A tester I know will look past little things like that as long as the machine is safe!
