You can just cover the k on the gauge face if you really don't want to see km/h, so it reads m/h! Seriously, if your MOT tester fails it, you need a new tester! I've done this with all my import cars too.
Mine just has some (very small and discrete) orange numbers on the gauge screen which I'm sure probably aren't even legal (and the gauge face still shows km/h), and no tester has ever failed it. It's never bothered me that the odometer increases at the km/h rate as I don't ever intend to sell it, so it's of no consequence to anyone else!
I think the mechanical adaptor (and masking the km/h) is probably the neatest solution, but each to their own.
