No. MOND will never be the explanation. Its just not capable of explaining what its supporters claim that it can.
I'm not a physicist (read "couldn't do the maths“) but MOND feels closer to an natural, organic explanation than Dark Matter. Are there planets formed from Dark Matter? Are there elements and dark molecular structures?
Please can I have a motorcycle made of it?
There's a few other things that dark matter explains which MOND doesn't, such as the relative abundances of the light elements and galaxies with seemingly no dark matter present.
