wouldnt worry. book it in for a re-test asap. just keep you mot failiure on you. if you get pulled tell them the situation, and they should be cool with it. they will be more interested in catching people that dont even bother trying to get an mot.

having no mot voids you insurance doesn't it? so you could potentially be done with no insurance and no mot.

No, if your car fails it's MOT, the only time you can drive the car on the road is to your house, a pre booked session at a mechanic to rectify the problem or a pre booked MOT.
