No mention of it by GNE on social media informing of the delay?

If the bus was operating a service which runs every 10-15 minutes, they wouldn't inform of the delay (given that, by the time they get something on Social Media, the next service is likely to have arrived).

Go North East only tends to report breakdowns if it's an infrequent / commuter service - ie Tyne Tees Xpress, Wear Tees Xpress, Pronto X21/X46.

A 10-plate Optare Solo is on loan to Go North East - arriving at Riverside Depot earlier this afternoon.

I believe it has been allocated fleet number 9106, and is planned to replace MPD 555 at Hexham Depot, which is due to be withdrawn prior to the arrival of new vehicles as a result of the imminent expiry of its MOT.

Each MPD registered with the DVLA during the same window as 555, will be due their MOT around about the same period.
I am guessing they must be expecting 555 to fail miserably, to go to the expense of hiring a bus in.
That or the expected repair bill isn't cost effective.

It does not have to be the same as 555.  MOT's can be done in advance, say 1 month, now the age of this vehicle, if in some years it had been done in advance, it could have a different schedule to say 556.

Unlike a car, a bus gets a MOT from year 1 not year 3.

That's why I said around Wink

It wouldn't make sense to have the entire fleet to be off the road for testing at the same time.
It makes sense they are staggered, to take into account demands on the fleet and any repairs that would need carrying out.
