TheClient's post in Not impressed! New turbo at 27k miles! was marked as the answerI'm no expert on Turbos but it does seem pretty oily and looks like the seals are letting go.
If that is your turbo, it seems it would need replacing sooner rather than later. I'm not sure how the MOT found it, I mean oil leaks are hard to spot with the bottom tray on and they don't remove that for the MOT. I think you suggested the oil burning was causing the emissions to fail - hadn't heard that before I suppose it sounds possible. Then the Garage went looking for a problem....
I'm open to be corrected but that is how it all appears and plausible to me on seeing your photos....
