I don't think it will, and it's not exactly safe either

Regardless of whether it'll pass or not, sort out your suspension.

Cut springs can pass the nct. If done correctly its safe.

It depends on the type of spring, how much you cut and how you cut it.

The problem is it is a very simplistic approach and is horribly crude so hard to answer without seeing what has been done.

If the spring is loose or unsafe in any way, you'll have a failed NCT and need to replace them.
