a favour request!

Afternoon All,
not posting much anymore due to new job and limited internet time now...
I am working on getting my faithful old hack back onto the road, but where its been sat idle for quite some time (11 months) the tax and mot have expired.
Would somebody possibly have a trailer and a tow car that I could borrow (not me physically, but your time) one weekend in order to get the old lass to the MOT test?
I would be more than happy to pay for time and fuel in both cash and alcoholic beverage as it would be a massive favour.
I am based on the isle of sheppey, and the test centre will be there aswell. The old hack is a smidge on the low side though, which may not be so helpful, although my drive has a bit of a slope we could utilise to to make things easier!
Many thanks

Driving an untaxed vehicle to an MOT test
You can drive your vehicle to and from a pre-arranged test at an MOT test station as long as you have adequate insurance cover in place for the use of that vehicle.
This is also for vehicles being driven to and from a pre-arranged test at a Vehicle Inspection Check (VIC) test station, an approved weight testing station and reduced pollution test.

Be aware you can only drive from one location to your pre-booked MOT test. If stopped and you are 3 miles from home in the wrong direction for the test centre you're likely to get a fine or more.
Yep, that's very true. And with ANPR cameras installed in most police vehicles now, all it would take is for you to drive anywhere near a police car and your car will flag up as not having an MOT - which means they WILL stop you if at all possible.ookware said:

So your local MOT station is fully booked, but the one 10 miles away had a free slot... 
I most certainly do! I'm mainly based at the inward roro freight controls. Small world eh?! That'll be all of two PH'ers in Dover now then..!! Keep your eyes peeled for a silver Z4M coupe, a green E39 or in a couple of months my truck hopefully..!! Give us a shout if you're up for a pint sometime.
