MOTs cannot be backdated and computerisation of the system allows the authorities to instantly check whether an MOT pass exists for a vehicle where one is required, as you have found to your cost. Get your car MOTed legitimately (bear in mind that legally you may only drive your un-MOTed car to a pre-arranged MOT test) and take the pass "certificate" to the police station with the rest of your documents.
Driving with no MOT can be dealt with by Fixed Penalty of �60 or you could receive a summons to attend court where a similar level of fine could be imposed but with costs and victim surcharge which would increase the amount payable by around �50.

Who are the feds?
It is very wrong of you to ask your friends to give you a back dated MOT - as already explained, it is impossible to do, and you are not much of a friend expecting them to break the law and risk their MOT status to bail you out.
The penalties have been very well explained by Kempie.

kempie + ethel - good advice. yeah i spoke to my friends today and they said they could not do it but they used to be able to do it. anyways it was a last option for me and i normaly do things legal. i got myself a new legal mot today with todays date on it thismorning. i produced my licence and new mot with the old mot thisafternoon. they said i will NOT recieve points as it is obviously a genuine mistake that i forgot to renew the mot but i am very likely to get a fine. thanks for your answers. (feds are cops)
