I went online to tax the Mondeo at the end of October, confident that it was MOT'd until mid November. It came up saying that there was no longer a valid MOT - it ran out the day before I went online! It has now passed and I taxed it today.
I have done 1,200 miles in the car in the last year as I am still on maternity leave and the seat belts were almost an inch too short to go round the baby seat.
As HWTHSBO and I have three cars between us at the moment, I think some stickers are going to be placed in windscreens in future!

Trade plates are used as temporary 'tax' to legally move an unlicenced car on the road - nothing to do with insurance. You don't need them if you are driving to/from a prebooked MOT, as this is allowed (since you can't tax a car without an MOT).
Your trade policy covers you for Trade work, irrespective of the state of the owners insurance arrangements (or lack of).

the MOT man told me that you can drive to a pre booked appointment but if it fails and there is notime left on the previous MOT, you're not suppossed to drive it away....
