chain and sprockets, wheel bearings, wheel tread, shocks (check for pitting, leaks e.t.c), check calipers for leaks, brakes are functioning, the electricals are working,

as long as your bike is in pretty good shape you should be fine

According to vosa.

for motorcycles...

Lights - condition, operation, security, and correct colour of headlamp(s), rear lights, indicators and reflectors. Also the headlamp(s) will be checked to see if the aim is correct

Steering and suspension - condition, security and operation including: forks, mountings, controls, bearings, etc

Horn - correct operation and the right type

Exhaust system - complete, secure, correct type and not too noisy

Side car - includes checks on: attachment, suspension, wheel bearings, wheel alignment, lights and tyres

Wheel alignment - correct alignment of front and rear wheels

Frame - free from cracks, damage, distortion or corrosion which is likely to affect steering or brakes

Wheels and tyres - wheel condition and security, tyre condition, size and type, and tread depth

Brakes - condition, operation and performance (efficiency test),and brake controls

General items - condition and security of final drive, footrests and seat

I found this on the Directgov website under MOT if you're wondering.
