A car on the highway, parked or not, must be taxed, insured and in possession of a valid MOT if required by age. The only time it can legally be on the road without a required MOT is if it's on the way to a pre-arranged MOT Test.

As other have said it must have a current MOT, road tax and insurance if it is parked on the road.
Consider this, the MOT checks the cars roadworthiness including the handbrake. If the handbrake snapped and rolled into someone elses car and you have not MOT'd it thus making your insurance void, your going to be paying out your own pocket for the repair and will probably face legal action.

legally no, and if your luck is anything like mine move it onto private land, ask your local pub or find a sympathetic person with a carpark or drive way you could use save yourself the grief. All cars are on a computer database showing wether or not they have mot tax and insurance, and ignorance is no defence either. If you do leave it on the road and someone hits it not only will you have to pay for your repairs bur probably theirs aswell because your insurance will be void. Do yourself a favour buy a local pensioner with an empty drive a box of roses!!

A car without MOT is not allowed on the "queens highway" and therefore it is technically illegal even to park it there, in practise though it is unlikely (though possible) that with a valid tax disk they would be likely to check, unless of course they run the electronic number plate check in which case they would be looking for violating vehicles and you could be done. If you have an allocated off road private parking space or a Friends you cant be done for either tax (SWORN) or MOT as it is on private property

You may be able to do ti for a month or so but don't do it any longer. Also make sure you have the car booked in so if you do get caught at least they know you are being pro-active about it. Don't drive your car though when it has no MOT because police can now detect this and they will stop you.

Yes, you must have insurance for any vehicle with a current road fund licence. The law changed recently.

Yes You CAN.
But if the police arrive and ask you to move it, DONT.
The vehicle is licenced for the road and NOT being driven.
If your MOT expires before you have funds, as long as you BOOK IT IN at an mot testing station you are all legal to drive it there.

you should be ok as no one will report it. However, police cars are being fitted with no. plate recognition equipment these days, this reads the plate as they go past and get an instant tone, which varies depending on the status of the car according to records held by the DVLA, I don't think they would do anything unless you were attempting to drive it.
You should be insured of course

no as you can still get prosecuted for no m.o.t. and also if you need to claim on your insurance that will be void
