The MOT here looks at the beam pattern, it needs to conform to certain standards to stop you dazzling the approaching vehicle .
Your headlamp bulbs have a specific focal point, the headlamp reflectors are designed to distribute this in the correct beam pattern. LED headlamps have reflectors designed to do the same for LEDs. That's why the wrong bulb / reflector will most likely be an MOT fail here in the UK.
Like many things it's not illegal to sell these "led replacement" upgrades, it's only illegal if you use them on a public road, and at the users risk.

As Scimike said, it is not illegal to sell them as long as you advise the buyer that they are for off road use only. Look in the small print, tucked away at the bottom somewhere.
