As long as the cat works there's nothing to worry about. I had one with a loose matrix in side - it rattled a bit but still did the job.

Rattly cats aren't half annoying though.

Joiking aside are there any rules etc that say you shouldn't MOT your own vehicles? Just curious.

thers no rules about not motting your own car, but the vosa inspector can retest any car they want, so you have to do it correctly, mine passed but i put an advisory on the seat belt  , as it had been trapped in the seat lock ( mines a coupe, so the seat folds ) and some marks in it.
the brakes and smoke test was easliy passed with no rust or play in anything anyone would pass it .
if you look on your mot certificate theres no name of who owns it, so they don't know who owns it,
