Mixed tyres MOT fail?

Are different tyres on the same axle an MoT failure? I'm thinking about my Smart but though it a useful question for the forum anyway. I know it isn't ideal for balanced performance but it's only for a small commute.

As above, and you can't have a cross-ply and a radial on same axle - both must be the same 1959 Series 2 Ragtop

Our Defender came back with odd tyres after its last MOT because one of them had issues.
So if the MOT tester will do it...
