If I bought a car a fair distance away with a genuine intention to bring it home straight to an MOT testing station, prebooked MOT and genuinely insured.

The car has no tax or test.

And I mean I would acutally put it through the MOT when I got back, to see waht needs doing befor having a retest.

If the car isnt taxed then you cant legally drive it on the public road Pre-booked MOT or not.

The non-mot thing should be ok. But there would be no leniency what so ever for lack of tax.

Brett, i'd insure it 100%, i'm not that stupid.

You can drive a car to a pre-booked MOT with no MOT or Tax, but you MUST be insured.

Wonder if I drive it down the road and pull something out, get the RAC to recover me home

Apart fromthe driving to a pre-booked MOT rule.

YOu can drive an untaxed and unmot'd car to and from either a prebooked MOT test OR repairs for an MOT test.

But they might say something about it being realistically close. I remember when my corsa had been off the road for a while and i drove 40 miles to an mot centre, just stick to the back roads. Its definitely something fun though, ive never kept such an eagle eye out for police vans

Dave you actually can't drive a car on the road without tax, full stop The mot thing will be ok, and obviously insurance. But the car is illegal on a public highway with no exceptions when it's not taxed.

Then explain to me how you get an taxed car (you cannot get tax without an MOT) to an MOT?
