If I took a car belonging to someone else for an MOT test to decide how bad it is and so whether I'd want to bother, would the MOT failure overrule the few days left on the old MOT?

Posted to the wrong group really.

My understanding is that it all depends on what they find. If they rule
the car "too dangerous to drive" (which I expect is defined in their
code) they can issue you with a notice. I'm not sure if they can
physically restrain the vehicle.

Never personally heard of it happening though.
