Yes. The only time it'll be legal is driving it to a garage for a pre-booked mot

Then it'll only be legal to drive back to the mot station. No where else.

Road Traffic Act section 47.

Fine is up to £1000 but I've never heard of anyone getting that much.

Also, while your insurance would still be valid, the insurer would be able to persue a civil case to recover costs if you crashed.

Highly unlikely you would be caught for it, I know people who have driven round for months by accident without one and also been stopped and got off on the understanding that it was an accident.

Although it is certainly illegal, and if you've booked it for the following day it's clearly not an oversight. Probably preferably to brave the bus one more time.

Just get the bus, not worth the 'whatif' is it

Mum and I drove the KA round for a month, even taxed it with an expired MOT

known a few people do that. 9 times out of 10 the police wont bother you aslong as you got tax.
obviously depending on how the coppers feeling and weather or not he's in a rush for his dinner

Would make a difference if the car is a 3 year old minter or a 15 year old bag of scrap too
