Because you need the MOT certificate to buy your tax disc, you are legally entitled to drive to the MOT station without tax or MOT, BUT YOU MUST GET VALID INSURANCE FIRST before you drive it anywhere. You can get insurance before the car is taxed and MOT'd. If your car fails the MOT, you are also allowed to drive it back home again if necessary. If it passes the MOT, then you should drive straight home, or directly to the Post Office to buy a tax disc. And yes, another driver who is insured to drive any vehicle can drive it there for you, as long as they have permission from the car owner it is legal

You can drive it to the MOT station without tax but not without insurance as other answerers have stated.
However you can only drive it to and from the MOT station if you have PREBOOKED an appointment,otherwise people would be driving un-mot'd cars around all the time & if they got stopped would just say "i'm on my way for an MOT.

Get a friend to take it who is entitled to drive it on their own insurance because you are not entitled to drive an uninsured car yourself. They will be allowed to take the car for the MOT and bring it back again , then you must get the road tax.

In the U.K., it is the driver who must carry liability insurance for his use of the car. If you have a policy in your own name for your own vehicle, then it will typically have a clause which covers you to drive a car belonging to anyone else, with the owner's permission of course, regardless of whether there is a policy in effect naming that car specifically. In the situation described though, where the driver does not have a policy in his own name, the legality would depend upon whether he is covered under the vehicle owner's policy. If the owner has insurance which either names the driver specifically or is for "any driver," then it's legal, otherwise the person would be driving uninsured. Will the police catch on? If you are stopped and asked to produce your documents, then yes, since they will be running not only the car but also the driver.
