Hoping your battery is fixed too now.  Then you can enjoy the car again. :)

[quote="Smeeagain"]
Are warped discs an MOT fail and does continued driving with them cause any resultant problems with other components?

To answer that..
Not as they stand as an individual issue unless they show up something weird on brake testing....

Running with vibration caused by disks will cause wear on bushes and steering.
This will then exacerbate the problems and will give you a bigger headache.
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)

I had a judder on braking too..
Fitted new Brembo Vented Slotted disks....
Problem still exists & turns out to be a sloppy joint...almost undetectable.
Still passed MOT.... but understand we have a whoppingly heavy vehicle & a tinsy bit of slop wil potentiallyl cause this issue, even with perfect disks !
