Driving to MOT stations without tax?

[trackdemon]

Need to get the NSX up the garage for an MOT as I want to get it back on the road after a short layoff over winter, during which time it was SORN'd. Now, obviously I cant get tax without an MOT..... and I cant get to an MOT station without driving on the road. I seem to recall that it is legal to drive for a prebooked MOT test in recognition of this fact.... truth or fallacy?

truth, still needs insurance obviously. you can even drive to the MOT station without an MOT if its prebooked.

Yup - its the truth.

But the MOT must be by prior arrangement and, perhaps uniquely for excise duty exemption it seems, must be specific as to both date and time.
