sounds like your MoT bloke is either trying to screw you for a new headlight or cant be bothered to tell you simple ways round it.
all i do on my '97 XT600E is put a triangle of black duct tape over the lens where it would flare up to the right. (be warned, this is opposite to where you think it will be! experiment against the garage door or a wall)
this has been perfectly adequate and legal for every MoT its had.
