If they're an MOT station, you should be able to get away with it aslong as they're willing to say it's booked in for an mot, if they aren't then no.

My mum has a tendency to do something similar to that only with her it's more 'CRAP!!! my mot ran out 2 weeks ago'

You can drive to a pre-booked MOT appointment but nothing else.

It's not OK to go there just for repairs, it must be an MOT.

It is generally an offence to use on a public road, a vehicle of testable age that doesn’t have a current test certificate, except when:
"taking it to or bringing it away from a place where, by previous arrangement, repairs are to be made or have been made to fix the problems that caused the vehicle to fail its test"

Yeah, if fails you can fix it, but if it just expired you can't claim to be rectifying anything.
