As above basically, is there a limit?
Basically, I'm putting my brother's Landy on eBay and while searching on other auctions, someone has put "no T&T so will need trailering away, or booking in for an MOT"
His is the same, so was curious!
How far can you drive when booked for an MOT with no tax etc?

technically the closest from what i remember? but i doubt any officer would pursue any offence if it is booked, they would actually just report you to the DVLA and it wouldn't stand very well them trying to take action since you have proof it was going to the nearest MOT station and the car is essentially registered to your address as soon as you sign the V5
I've done this several times due to tax running out before I've finished the car and never go to my nearest, as frankly I don't trust the them. As long as its booked I doubt anyone would make a big deal about it. Obviously booking an MOT at the other end of the country probably wouldn't be wise, and if its blatently not MOT pass worthy you'd probably be in trouble if caught.

Ive done it before but was never stopped, i bought a car 100 miles away from home and booked it in near to were i got it from and it passed luckily
my mate bought his Silvia from Ireland. He booked it into the local garage for an mot, then drove it home. He lives in huddersfield!!
My Rebuild
They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....
i was in whetstone, near leicester getting my wagon tested & the next bloke in had come 135 miles, cos he needed to get it tested asap & whetstone was nearest to him..
i drove 45miles to a station.Ignorance is bliss
Although strictly there is nothing in the law stating the distance, I wouldnt like to explain to the police or my insurance company why I had it booked in miles and miles away. Especially if it was a serious accident and I had just purchased the car with no MOT!!
Ive done from Skeggy to my house with no T&T in a Cav
I drove a nova gsi from merseyside to bristol with it "booked in for test" at my local garage!
