or cheat a bit book in for MOT (as cheap as hiring a trailer) drive it to MOT (as long as runs and an't a death trap) and and put in for test, after test drive it home as this is totaly legal. if you find the right garage might be lucky and get a week to get bits sorted and put in for re-test. or the bonus is you know what needs doing.

you are covered if you are driving to and from a booked test. And if you are really brave there is no set distance so could drive as far as you like just hope you don't get stopped by a copper that has had a bad day cause thay wouldn't like you bending the rules that far :) and anything that looked iffy you would get slammed for

Paul:
You can drive a vehicle to a test station providing it is booked in
and you are taking a direct route from A to B.

Anything other than that and you would be breaking the law.

The boys in blue would through the book at you if for example
you were driving from Southampton to Derbyshire for an MOT. :shock:

SteveH:
heh, was not going to be quite that bad.. more soton to basingstoke :) got access to a workshop there ;)

Sharpshooter:
I thought that if your towing with a fixed bar, then the towed vehicle is covered by the towing vehicles insurance.?? Not 100% sure though.

TechnoTurkey:
Last time I had to do a similar journey with a car with no MOT i booked it into a station, drove it home and when I got home cancelled the MOT appointment.  The garage were glad as they were busy and it gave me the reason to drive it home.

Just make sure that if you get stopped you can prove that you were on route to the garage...
