I have my car on SORN at the moment and its ran out of MOT today. I know you can drive a car with no MOT if your taking it for and MOT and thats the only reason your driving it. I also know that you were able t do this if the car has no road tax. Because you need an MOT to get it taxed. This was true back in 2010 but I was wandering if you guys are aware of the law changing at all??

As long as its insured you should be fine subject to the statement below, however i would check with your insurance company for their advice, as a contradiction in terms seems to be that if the vehicle isnt taxed or mot'd then the insurance is invalid, having said that ive done it a few times with different cars lol

 

"Driving an untaxed vehicle to an MOT test

You can drive your vehicle to and from a pre-arranged test at an MOT test station provided you have adequate insurance cover in place for the use of that vehicle.

 

This also applies to vehicles being driven to and from a prearranged test at a Vehicle Inspection Check (VIC) test station, an approved weight testing station and reduced pollution test."

I always wondered how you got it home.

 

If it failed, surely you cant drive it.

If it passes, do you need to leave it there and go get it taxed?

If insurance is still running, you'll be fine

Technically yes......

 

.....but at £50-odd for an MOT, it's cheaper to remain legal and pay your road tax!!!
