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.
