This is not true, the MOT is valid for a year and states that a vehicles roadworthiness (now including a plate) at the time that it was tested. A small plate fitted afterwards will not invalidate it any more than a worne tyre months later or a fruity pipe (re)fitted afterwards.
The law on plates has been clear for some time, the inclusion in the MOT has just made it checkable once a year. Saves plod checking it all the time. You cannot buy a legal plate without proof of ID and ownership I believe.
