Towing on a dolly is an emergency only tow now-a-days and your not permitted to go more than a certain distance (cannot remember how far like) and also you might not be able to tow it on your license.
Personally I would tow it on a rope and go back the long way (ei - no motorways)

i thought to tow it, the other car had to be road worthy and have an mot to make sure that the brakes and everything is ok.
was going to do this but thought again

Book it in for an MOT neer you, drive it home - don't get caught cancel MOT, get caught - drive to MOT station. For the sake of £40 you might aswell.

Trust, you are only allowed to drive the vehicle to the nearest MOT test center.
