You are allowed to drive to and from a MOT test centre or a place of repair for MOT repairs listed on a fail sheet as long as you have booked an appointment.

I think the people who say you cannot drive the car to an MOT station ourght to get their facts right before answering.
Book your car in for the test and specify a time ie. 9.00am
then take the car on the most direct route from it's location to the testing station.
You would not need to have tax or MOT to do this (after all you cannot tax the vehicle without an MOT cert.)
Your insurance will cover you

Most of the answers here are, with respect, incorrect.
Although an MOT certificate is indeed normally required, you can drive the car on the road to take it to an MOT station for testing, and nothing else, though not that I'd reccomend doing this if the brakes are scaring you...
If you feel it's not mechinically in a fit state to drive safely on the road, get it trasported on the back of a tow-truck.

Only drive to mot centre. Anywhere else would be a violation.

Yes as long as you drive straight to the MOT test centre.
I'm lucky with my nearest MOT test centre, it's up the road - a 2 min walk. Go to your nearest centre.

Yes, you're allowed to drive it to an MOT centre, once. If you go to the MOT centre, or somewhere else, it's a crime and you will be punished.

If you ring the mot station before you set off and they can vouch for you that you were only taking your car to the testing station you will be OK .

To confirm, you are allowed to drive to a pre-booked MoT test. You're required to take a direct route, i.e. no stopping off to do the shopping. Simple as that.
