points + fine + possibly taking your car tbh as you effectively have no insurnace (thats the worst case)
best case is they can just warn you not to drive it again untill you take it to the garage

"Why are you driving without MOT"?
"i carnt get the car MOT'D till monday"
"Stupid *******,"- then he goes into the car...gets the little yellow book out..gives you a fine for no MOT....and you will wait for a court date throught the post
