You've got a leak from the valve stem seals it says therre which would be most of the issue.
That was an advisory in 2016
I'm not sure if you're trying to take the piss or not
EDIT: Sorry I mis-understood, I know what you mean now the MOT tester meant the valves where you pump the tyres up not the Valve Stem Seals just the Valve Stem

If you can get the ECU from someone breaking, along with the immobiliser box (also wrongly known as a BSI) and the key fob immob chips and swap all of those, it should work fine.
Exhausts don't like sitting though, have you checked it for corrosion? I had a type approved cat & DPF from BM cats which was terrible quality!
Okay thanks bud not sure then that'll be a lot of hassle for something that may not even fix it
I'll have a look at the exhaust if it's gone that would be sh***y given that it's only a couple years old

The ECU wouldn't be the first thing I'd suspect. I think garages sometimes tell you something like that because they don't think it's worth trying to chase down a fault in a car of that age.
In my head it wouldn't make sense for the ECU to kill itself either
I'm thinking it's just because it's been sat for so long and hasn't really been run in a couple of years
