Just wondered as the other 5 will be in for an MOT in a couple of weeks, can you drive a SORN car to the MOT station????? I know a NON MOT'd car is ok (or used to be,law may of changed) but what about no tax?
Thank You.

As far as I can remember, yes. SO LONG as its booked in.
Just phone your local nick, they'll tell you.
ai, am about to do it this weekend
Sweet. Good Idea Timmy.
As long as you deem the car road legal... ie: 4 decent tyre's, head lights etc...
& that the car is insured not just you insured to drive any other car 3rd party...
Oh and you must be booked into a Mot Garage for an apointment... but afterwards you can drive the car home and to and from any garage/place to work on your car...
So technically you could drive your car anywhere to get "work" done on your car... but only after it has failed an MOT.
Well it's not insured so thats buggered that
Why would I insure a car thats been in the garage for over a year? To drive it on the road...... But surley the fact a car has no MOT and is not road legal invalidates any insurance anyway. The MOT station is about 1 minute from my house. Thats it, I'm calling the police

Just got off the phone. I cannot drive the car to the MOT station
Due to the MOT running out over a year ago I will not be able to get insurance (as my last post) so the nice police lady said not in so many words "you drive it and we'll have ya". It has to be trailered or on a flat bed.. "not even towed". Hmmm. Is it worth doing??? Gives me something to think about. And something to remember in the future..
so ya cant tow a non tax/mot'd car then....
She told me if it touches the road it is classed as on the road and is a no no. Any car that is on the road for any amount of time must be insured. No MOT for a year.No Insurance. Just No...You may be ok to insure a car that has only just expired on the MOT. I wouldn't like to say mate.
Have a read through this..

May help ya.
I thought thats what you ment mate. I guess it's better to know. How far away is the car?
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
The thing with nowadays is everything is computerised, police know whether your car has mot insurance tax, when it expired and everything about you at the touch of a few buttons.
I know if you were driving it round my way and you was stopped and showing you had no insurance, immediately recovery would be arranged for your car for having no insurance, then you'd get a bill for the recovery and have to pay the storage fees until you went down there with a flat bed and your docs to get it back, you'd also be charged for driving a car with no insurance and risk a ban on your license.
So the bottom line is its not worth the risk nowadays, get it trailered to the mot station................
