The only exception to this rule is if you are driving it to a garage for repairs after a failed test or to a pre-booked MOT.

Frequently asked questions
You can book an MOT online today by entering your vehicle registration and postcode into our comparison site.
Class 4 covers all cars and light commercial vehicles registered in the UK.
If you book your MOT early, you get more time to fix any faults and ensure your car is still legal to drive on UK roads. However, if you book your MOT earlier than a month in advance, the expiry date will become the date of your most recent test.
If you are caught on a public road without a valid MOT certificate, and you can’t meet the above criteria, you can be fined up to £1,000. There is a further £2,500 fine if your vehicle is found to be unroadworthy. You will also receive 3 points on your driving licence if it is deemed to be dangerous.
Driving without an MOT certificate also invalidates your car insurance. This brings an unlimited fine, potential disqualification from driving and 6-8 points on your licence.
