You can drive a vehicle to an MOT on a SORN or expired Tax as long as it is pre-booked even if the MOT has expired.
Can i take a car for mot without insurance. I had just that issue a few days a go. If youre taking your car to a pre-booked MOT test you can drive your vehicle on a road without it being taxed. No you cant - you need insurance to tax your car.
In order to renew your annual road tax on your vehicle you will need a valid MOT certificate however you can insure your car without this. If the matter goes to court you are liable for an unlimited fine a possible ban from driving and your vehicle may be seized and even destroyed. Its not a simple yes and no answer as it depends on the circumstances of the accident.
And if your insurance is invalid you could also receive a fine and points on your licence. This is usually the case if the incident resulted in physical injury. You MUST have insurance to drive it.
If your car is involved in a traffic accident youll be asked to produce an up-to-date MOT certificate. This will probably be cheaper than a single days insurance. Its legal to tax your car without the physical insurance documents however.
Its also an offence to keep an uninsured car on a driveway or in a garage. Firstly it is illegal to drive without valid insurance so you are leaving yourself open to prosecution and a penalty of at least 300 and 6 penalty points. When taxing your vehicle your vehicle will be checked to ensure that it has a valid MOT certification so this will need to be obtained before it can.
However not having an MOT may have implications for the validity of your insurance - you would need to check this with your insurer. When your vehicle has a SORN you will no longer be required to ensure the vehicle is taxed and insured. After the period of not driving your car is over you will need to book an MOT before you start driving again.
