driving to mot without mot

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Mine was just as sneaky, needed to drive 60 miles with a 410, got 1 days insurance, booked it in...drove home lol.
If it ticks over...leave it

Look under the heading "If your MOT has expired":
The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain wrote:You can’t drive your vehicle on the road if the MOT has expired. You could be prosecuted if caught.

The only exception is if you’ve already booked an MOT and are driving your vehicle to the test centre.
So the people trying to tell you that you can't drive to the MOT centre without an MOT are not bothering to check - they're just telling you what they believe the law should say, not what it actually says.

There's a lot of that going around.

Do me a favour and show them the VOSA page above, and then slap them in the face. Hard. For being dumbasses who spout crap before checking the facts.
1985 SJ413VX (SJ50V) with SPOA, rear disc brakes, 31x10.5R15 Kaiman Malatesta tyres, an MOT and a lot left to do!
