You ARE allowed to drive to and from an MOT station without tax or MOT as long as you are insured it is all legal.
Can you really see people trailering there summer cars which they use once a year to the MOT station then trailering them back for a re test FFS people get a grip!

If its SORN you can drive it to a MOT station, this needs to be checked.

Of course you can the DVLA realise that not all cars that are declared SORN are going to be off the road forever.
Can u imagine how much it would cost if you had to trailer it there and back.
It is perfectly legal to drive a car with no tax that is SORN am 100% certain

just read this:
quote:
An untaxed vehicle cannot be used or kept on a public road.
There is one exception:
You can drive an untaxed vehicle on a public road to and from a pre-arranged:
* MOT testing station
* VIC testing station
* an approved vehicle weight testing station which covers design weight certificate or plated revenue weight
* reduced pollution test
