I was once told by a TC that they don't usually prosecute for having no MoT test but what they would do, if they thought it appropriate, was to
impound the vehicle, have it inspected and charge you for each of the points it WOULD have failed the MoT on and also any other breaches of the road
traffic act.
I looked into the driving to/from the MoT/home and couldn't find any referance to distance. Thats why I drove a freshly imported vehicle all the
way from Southampton, back up to Whitby, for it's MoT. I got a cover note issued to the chassis number, 'phoned my friendly local garage
and booked the MoT (and explained that I wouldn't actually be turning up for another few weeks!!) and off I went. I should have taken advantage
of driving with no number plates but I drove reasonably sensible! I passed a few plod and a few passed me. They all had a good stare at both ends of
the vehicle to see if it had any plates on but I was never stopped.

I got rammed in a car that was just out of MOT and I was driving home from the garage who would not keep the car until they got the parts to fix it.
Plod turned up I got a producer and spent a week going to the nick every day with different bits of paper from the garage, MOT station, parts company
you name it, basically they made my life hell all because a numpty ran in the back of me!
