Clip on bars

Went for an MOT today and failed on my bars. They are Renthal clip ons that have been on for a couple of years and gone through a few MOTs already. Admittedly on full lock the foam around my clocks is deformed and you can't use any of the switches, but the tank isn't fouled and I can still hold onto the bars.
Have I just gone to a jobs worth tester? Has anyone else fitted clip ons and found a way to avoid this problem?
Will I be better off just fitting the original high bars again?
What would happen to the geometry of the bike if i dropped through the forks and fitted the clip ons above the top yoke?

Cheers,
Jim
