Sorry to be pedantic but you will not strictly be legal. However, if you are stopped en route to a prebooked MOT this counts as a defence in law.

I think it has to be your nearest mot centre. ie not 500 miles away!

Sorry, mrs_overall. Norman is quite right. You are allowed to drive to a pre-booked test, and to drive back again if the car fails.

No, it does not have to be the nearest one.

I stand corrected! I would offer to thrash myself soundly but instead I'll slap my idiot brother (who's a Policeman) who gave me the answer! Grrrrr.
