The hole should not affect your mot.
only if its close to mounting points, stuppidly large or could be dangerous (ie, sticking out)

If you want to do it properly you would have to take back to bare metal then filler and repaint, but if its really bad doing this could open up a whole can of worms

Bit of fiberglass and some filler will work a treat.
Just remember to use wet and dry and take your time, if you rush your wasting your time mate

A good idea when working on jobs like this , ( rubbing down corrosion , primer , repainting ) is to do this in the summer or on a hot day , if its cold or damp , moisture will ingress into the fresh steel , and show itself in a couple of months , also where you have shiny new steel , paint with rust inhibitor first . before painting
