Huh? You reckon you can drive without tax / MOT / insurance as long as it's not your car?
The owner of a vehicle is responsible for keeping it road legal ie. having insurance, tax and MOT if applicable.If you are driving somebody else's car then you are responsible for having insurance cover in place which covers you to drive it. That is a different matter altogether.
Is the offence not taxing your car/not having an MOT, or is it driving it without tax/MOT?
A car is perfectly allowed to not have an MOT, as long as it isn't on the road.
A car which has yet to reach the third anniversary of its first registration is not required to be tested, so won't have a MOT certificate.
Even the often misleading gov.uk site manages to get that right - https://www.gov.uk/getting-an-mot/mot-test-fees

I am, of course, completely remiss.
Once a car is three years old, I am, I think, completely correct.
