Getting a MOT done when your car is SORN
Two of my cars are SORN at the mo, and would like to get them MOT'd shortly, is it legal to drive to a MOT?
They are both insured so thats not an issue.
Is there any thing to say you need to go to your closest MOT station as my "friendly" one is 40 miles from my home.

I wouldn`t have thought so, if you can prove you are going.

What would happen if you lived miles from a garage? You would have no choice but to drive xx miles for an MOT.

There isnt a restriction on the mileage, but itll ****-off a Traffic Police officer if youre on a world tour...
I have driven several cars from Southampton and Tilbury docks to MOT appoinments in Sheffield without issue.

Cookstar top question 
.
I've finally got permission from the fun and finance minister
to buy a cheap commuter/runabout next autumn so the Scoob will be SORN for 6 months from the end of October. The MOT runs out November and I was wondering how I would get the car MOT'd the following April. So you can drive it to the MOT testing station with no valid MOT or road tax, then get the car taxed after the MOT. Is this right?
