No they are dust seals, the main fork seals are below them, if they have perished then the fork seals wont be far behind but if there is no oil on the fork leg, and they oppperate properly it should not be an issue for the mot.

My divvy has been like that for years and get through the MOT no trouble, what I've done is smear silicone around the top of the dust seals to halt the cracking.
