You'll just get it from the expiry of the old one, should be OK.
Fine is only if you don't either tax it or SORN it, and you're about to do one of them.

I don't have 100% trust in DVLA systems, but no, if you do one or the other you should be OK.

some chav down the road from me with his modified erst had this done to him 
the old system used to be lush cos you could always swing a month before and after it was due for free. wouldnt even try it now with these computerised systems
