A rear wheel failing or deflating at speed is more serious than a front wheel. A rear wheel failing will lead to an oversteer skid whereas a front wheel failing will lead to an understeer skid.
An oversteer skid is less controllable than an understeer one.
Your next step is to gauge how serious the distortion is. That will determine your subsequent actions. Have you seen the distortion? The MOT examiner will most likely have spotted it with his eyes.

Do you have steel wheels or alloy wheels. Depending on what the distortion is a steel may be more easy to fix.
