poppet2 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) I will be driving my sorn car to a pre arranged MOT next week. When it passes the MOT, I can get it taxed the same day. I will get the car insured before it goes to the MOT. However, my dilemma is, could I get fined for driving an untaxed car to the MOT station?

There is no automatic fine for not having tax However, you will flag on a police car ANPR camera so they could stop you If you can prove youre on your way to get it MOT'd then you'll be fine So i suggest you either print out the proof or have it on your phone etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 If you're on the way to a pre-arranged MOT there's an exemption for tax, so you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
