Well given it says deteriorated I'm assumg it's the rubber bits that hold the back box on? My dad had one snapped and one nearly snapped.....the weight of a backbox and the chance of it falling of is pretty bad so I'd say it's fair.
Must be a pretty unhelpful garage if they didn't fit a new clamp for you and just pass it tbh... being a VAG dealer they would have likely had the right clamp in stock. Literally a 30 second job with the car up on the ramps.

They did offer but I have an aftermarket exhaust fitted(milltek) and they didn't have any clamps big enough to fit the pipes.
Although saying that Its 2.5" and I'm sure the R32 would be a similar size
If you don't have clamps holding sections of exhaust together then it not securely fixed, so hardly surprising it failed the MOT and in no way unfair. A couple of new clamps will be cheap and pretty simple to fit, so you should be able to get the car back in for a re-test PDQ.
Only one has actually come off at presnt but that have basically rusted away.
Pretty poor really when you pay for a stainless steel exhaust to not have suitable clamps.
