Although technically you could book it in for an MOT... then post MOT go to
the new home.

Don't you still need insurance to do that?

I gather though that there are restrictions - you can't book an MOT 200
miles away if there are nearer places to have it done.

Never seen any, or any stated cases yet either. Not to say they aren't out
there. 200 miles would be pushing your luck though when holding on to that
Brass rail in the house.

Key thing is to make sure it's booked in and the garage have the vrm and are
aware your arriving with not MOT so they actually write it down just incase
the local plod do have cause to check. I personally wouldn't chance it over
say 78 1/3rd miles in a Series IIa.

Crown -v- Simpson 2001 (Brighton)

The defendant fails to demonstrate a good reason for the pre-booked
test being (n) miles away. The Crown demonstrated that there were
over 80 other testing stations that would have been appropriate.

Defendant a slimey little toerag, didn't have insurance either.

Actually, it may have been Samson or summat similar...

If you remind me a few days before the 4th Thursday in October I'll
ask the person who was telling me all about it (with some degree of
qualification being in the same Court, albeit on t'other side of the
bench) ;-)

ISTR that this kind of thing only becomes a precident after having
gone through an appeal or summat similar? This case, AFAIK, didn't,
as the little scroat eventually changed his plea to get a lighter
(less than 6 month) sentence.

visions of M1 yesterday while a certain wonderful person kept plod
talking about ambis so that plod did not loom at windscreen while a
certain distraught owner busily fiddled with carbs although said
vehicle definitely had insurance and MOT....

I bought a 110 one day from a place some 45 miles from home - made sure
brakes and lighting and steering worked and then drove it home with a friend
escorting me along M62 - been on the M62 about 15 mins, got pulled by plod
because of cracked windscreen - explained that had just got vehicle, it was
insured, booked in for windscreen change and MOT next day at MOT station 2
miles from home. Plod not bothered about MOT, checked insurance, said would
report me for no tax but if I explained I was moving vehicle to have it
mot'd, it was thus tax exampt - had a chat with him about land rovers in
general and how I was gonna do it up etc. Few days later got a letter from
local vehicle tax office saying they understood I had just bought the
vehicle the day I got stopped - could I produce bil of sale and tell them if
I had used vehicle at all since on road (I had, to take it to and from MOT
fail, to take it to and from welding repairers, and then to and from MOT
retest and it was taxed immediately thereafter) and they were happy - heard
no more.

Got MOT station to stamp the vehicle rectification form plod gave me for the
windscreen and that was it!
