Bob, You DO need insurance but you can drive an untaxed vehicle to a pre-booked MOT appointment.
That is the only time you can legally drive a SORN'd / untaxed vehicle on a public road - just make sure you have valid insurance cover.

Thanks Mike, i had to cancel m.o.t. stupidly i spent so much time swapping the best tyres cleaning it,etc i forgot to transfer insurance from the 2-3, so it's back into storage for the 2.9. and tax the 2-3 for a few months, and change it over then, once i could keep both on the road at the same time, those days are gone, the 2.9 has only done 84k. 2.3 166k
Cheers Bob
