If you have recovery on the car, get it recovered.

Are you suggesting that you will pay someone to recover it, or that you will use AA / RAC etc. under a personal policy or suchlike? If the latter, I seriously doubt they will shift a car with no MOT - they are a breakdown service, not a vehicle relocation charity hehe

is it likely it will pass an MOT?

If so book it into one near where you are picking it up,
drive to the test center (you are allowed to do this) get it done then drive home.

job done!
That works, is completely legal as well.
