As far as i know you will not get a failure for surface rust on a spring. If it was actually broken that would be a different matter!
Not many of the cars on the road will have nicely painted springs and most will have a slight coating of surface rust. It might be an idea if you want to make them last a little longer, and keep them looking good, to take them off, give them a good wire brushing and a coat of paint.

coll thanks guys. Its just the paints peeling off and rust around that part no where else. I thought due to our snow situation might have ruined my chances of passing MOT.

nahh you'l be fine mate, if the springs had snapped or something then yes you would have failed an MOT.
