Default Accident damage and mot ?

I've found a Clio for sale thats a cat d, the damage is..

Missing d/s wing mirror.
o/s headlamp is loose.
Back bumper has a scuff mark and clips on one side have came off.
Passenger door and just below has a small scuff/dent.
Boot has a small dent which could easily be pushed out.
And finally the air bag in the drivers seat has deployed.

If I replaced the d/s wing mirror, secured the head lamp properly, and secured the back bumper correctly would it go through a mot ?
Or would the car fail due to the drivers seat air bag being deployed ?
I could tuck it back in and get it sown up for the time being, if that would help.

It can't fail on the dents on the door/boot can it ?
Where there's no sharp edges and it isn't compromising the safety of the car.

Sorry for rambling on just seems like a good buy

Found a bumper for £25 + P&P
Wing mirror £19 Delivered
Headlamp free
Boots free where it will easily push out only a small dent
Passenger door will be replaced not sure how much..
And will have to be drivers seat im guessing.

Cheers

Hopefully
Any idea about the seat air bag ?
Thats my main concern, everything else is just a case of securing things properly till i find replacements.
Except for the wing mirror, and the seat.

From what I've read up it would be allot easier just to change the seat ?

If the airbag itself was cheap enough and I could find someone to fit it at a reasonable price I'll do this no chance I'm messing about with them.

I plan on putting it back in perfect condition in the end just need a car asap for work, So I'll be doing what it needs to go through a mot then sorting the rest out after.
Cheers
