When they re test it they should jack the car up and check for play so if its the bearing there will still be play so they can then fail it on that. Its like if a car fails on o/s/f tyre and you take it home and swap the wheel with the o/s/r tyre. It would fail again! To be honest it would be best to speak to the mot tester or get it sorted. If it fails on the re test it will need a full test again and that means you have to pay again that you wont want.
As for the play in the bearing have you got the drive shaft nut really tight? If it isn't really tight they sometimes have a bit of play. Worth a try
