You are only allowed to drive the car to and from an MOT station with no MOT...there is no lee-way...if your caught driving you will be fined I presume...also most insurances are void with no valid MOT so you may be guilty of driving with no insurance.
have a nice day

yes it was booked for the MOT, yes i got busted back in december in the silvia, after months of restoring it the only thing i needed to cheak is wether the fuel gadge was working correctly (hardly left in it) so I drove 2 miles down country lanes to the petrol station and got pulled on the way back
