There is no such thing as a 'daytime MOT' (If no lights are fitted then the tester should issue an advisory notice to that effect.) If lights are fitted then they must work correctly. If there are no lights fitted then it doesn't need a brake light for the MOT. It does need a horn.

Yup. We used to do that on a Guzzi Classic Racebike. It was run on the road with just a horn and a brake light. But as Number 6 says, no lights at all when presented for test.
Many test stations may be unhappy about doing that type of test, if they don't know what's what.
Step one - know your tester.
