Ask the garage that did the MOT to give any details of work done / items tested. May be coincidence this happened after it was examined, then again may not be and could help point you in the right direction of what is amiss.
This site is a wealth of knowledge -
Stuck in 3rd gear
There's specifically a page in relation to the loss of 3rd gear but as with anything sort out the smallest potential fixes first and then work up to the biggest.
Take the time to read his other pages, the 020 box does have some recognised weaknesses and he covers them all.

Most missing gear problems are linkage problems, somethings moved or one of the plastic bushes has dropped out, theres a circlip at the gearstick end that can come adrift
another possibility is clutch needs adjusting, is there a difference with and without the engine running?
I'd double check the linkage and adjustment before removing the box.
