As I have no idea what you mean by "MOT fail" and I cannot answer except to say that a blown head asset is very serious and you should stop driving this vehicle immediately. It is a major repair but easily repaired with new gaskets unless you continued to drive the car and ruin the engine.
The spare tyre is not taken into consideration as part of an MOT. There is no legal requirement to carry a spare tyre and it is not part of the MOT test. Even if the spare tyre has a puncture/illegal tread etc. your car will not fail the MOT on this item.

Don't know what car this is but had a similar problem with an S40 Volvo 1.8i. Garage said engine was shot (needed replacement), turned out to be a blocked flame trap in the crankcase breather system. Cost nought but time to sort. Had to remove inlet manifold. It's run perfect ever since and cruised thru the MOT emmisions test.
