I'm trying to sell my car. Its got 2 months MOT and 2 months tax on it. Doesn't seem to be getting any interest, even at stupidly cheap prices.

I think it will sell pretty quick with 12 months MOT on it.

Pretty sure it will pass but should I test it and it fail, will this invalidate the currently valid MOT or can I continue to run the car until the current MOT runs out in 2 months?

.....but anyone who does an MOT online search will find the fail. Best not to try to be clever with potential buyers.

You wouldn't seriously ignore the fail & sell the car on? That's really bad form, especially if it were a safety item (which it probably would be).
