Putting mot and tax back on car

[mattfinch]

Hi all

I have decided to put the saxo back on the road as it is easier to drive it to track days instead of getting a trailer everytime. I have insured it now and mot is booked in for sat. Can I drive it to the mot place get the mot and then drive back and taxs it when I get back home? As you can not tax it without mot.

Thanks

Yes you can, aslong as its only to or from the MOT centre

And you have to have a pre booked slot and the mot test station has to be within 30 miles of where the car is registered.

When did the 30 mile rule come in? Never used to be a specified radius.

Last year. Was added because people were using the pre booked slot as a way to get a car home from a sale with no mot.
