    Apparently,you can ride your bike to a pre-booked MOT(without having one) - provided your taxed &insured,? is,can you tax & insure your bike without an MOT?,and if not -does that mean/legally.you have to have it transported to the testing station.

    No you can not tax a bike without the MOT, you can ride it to the testing place without MOT & tax but must be insured and you must have a pre-booked MOT

    it can be insured without tax and test, thats not a problem. lots of people have stuff that they dont use, but insure it for theft and whatnot.

    You can ride to and from a pre booked MOT with just insurance, if it fails you can ride it to a place of repair (home). Tax it when it passes. Simple. Plod can't do nout as long as its pre booked and you are actually on your way there.
