TPMS disable?

I know there are several comments re TPMS, I seem to remember seeing the system can be disabled completely via Forscan, is this correct? I have the TPMS not detected on my mk3.5 Focus. I always have and always will check tyre pressures anyway so could live without the sensors. I appreciate if error present at MOT is a fail and, if one sensor gone others close to failing.

Thanks

    legal requirement after a certain date... so will fail an MOT if not there / not working

    as its dead simple, dead cheap and very useful - people removing need a stern talking too

    TPMS checks were added to the MOT test checklist in January 2015 and is carried out on the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for M1 vehicles first used on or after 1 January 2012.

    If the tyre pressure monitoring system is malfunctioning or obviously not working – this counts as a ‘major’ fault on the MOT checks.
