MOTs and car tax are completely different. You need to go to the post office for tax or you may be able to do it online if you have the right form.
if your car needs an MOT I don't think there is a grace period
Just make sure you go to the right place as soon as possible!

"Previously, motorists driving without a valid tax disc had to be spotted on the roads to be subject to a penalty. But from 1 January 2004, keepers of vehicles who have not paid their tax within the month will be identified from the DVLA computer database and will automatically receive an £80 penalty. This is reduced to £40 if paid within 28 days; but determined offenders could be faced with prosecution and a minimum £1000 fine. "

You have no grace to get your car taxed. As for your MOT you are allowed to drive an untaxed car to and from a PRE BOOKED MOT, you could be fined for having an untaxed car on the highway, currently £80.

In South Carolina you are fined as soon as you are late. The fine isn't much though, like $10.00 or $15.00. We can also pay our car taxes online but I'm thinking you are not in the US. You can still be given a ticket from the police though.

problem is if you have no mot and no tax and you are caught on the road they will throw the book at you. no mot on your car invalidates your insurance as well.

Im pretty certain you are right, you now have 2 weeks grace period to get your car taxed, after that you get fined
