As per title, is this ok to do; will it be acceptable for an MOT?
Is it OK to cable tie breather pipe to brake lines?

Why do you need to? Seems an odd thing to do when theres a perfectly fine A-Frame running just beside it

I was told to by the MOT tester where the clips had broken that secure the brake pipe that runs across the rear axle

I cabled tied my breathers to the long tubey thing that comes off the gear box and goes to the back axle.
Still ok as far as I know but I've not checked.

I did that with my brake lines but split some fuel hose lengthways and put the lines inside to protect them, used small cable ties to secure the fuel hose.

Thanks for the replies chaps.
I'm more than keen to do it right, I just can't see where clips for the rear axle breather pipe are supposed to go!

I was being silly hahahaha!
It does remind me of a workmate many yrs ago who fitted panniers to his motorcycle, he put a steel strut bolted to the top and bottom of the rear damper and bolted the boxes to the strut
He couldn't understand why the ride was so harsh.

Reminds me of the time someone threaded bungees through his rear wheel.
(No, it wasn't me!)
