Probably throwout bearing. Mine did that for awhile then got quiet again.

No it won't affect the mot. You'll have to remove that transmission to sort it out.

Re: clutch noise escort mk6 1.8

The MOT test doesn't involve the clutch, so no need to worry as far as that's concerned. I have the opposite symptom on my Mk.5b diesel estate - something is a bit noisy when the engine is idling in neutral with the clutch engaged (clutch pedal up) but when I disengage the clutch (clutch pedal down) the noise stops. I've never had to work on the Escort clutch though so I don't know much about it.
