For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I don't think it does mean no insurance. You could be insured on a car but not drive it, and then it wouldn't need an MOT. You need an MOT to tax a car because they assume that if you are taxing it you will be using it. You don't need tax to get an MOT (in theory, if you kept the car at the MOT garage) because it just means it is roadworthy, not definately going to be used on the road.
I know what I mean anyway!!

and where is the proof backing up yor answer tubeway? I have never heard of a law allowing you to drive your vehicle to an MOT?
Im a fleet manager and know that if a vehicle has an expired MOT the lease company have to come and collect it on trade plates or a low loader in order to take it to be MOTd

If a car is on trade plates it is not exempt from MOT and can only be driven to a prearranged test - you want proof
