Started the car and you can see coolant dripping out from underneath the pump. I checked the hose and the end is dry so nothing coming from that. Looks like another fix I need to do before i can get it properly on the road.

Frustrating as everything looked good after the MOT. Back in the garage she goes.
That's a nuisance Chris! Just to be sure, it's not coming from the seal between the pump and head is it?

If not and you're convinced it's the pump shaft seals (only other place it can leak except the gasket which would be obvious) then it's a new pump - go for an SKF one, they're a bit dearer than most but you don't want to have to do the job again in a few months!
