Yes, however, there are a few exemptions. If your car is not taxed but you are travelling to an MOT appointment, you do not need valid road tax. However, please be aware that your vehicle will need to be insured. You cannot legally drive without valid car insurance. If you are involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, you need to contact the Motor Insurance Bureau (MIB). Also, if you are heading to an MOT Check, this will need to be a pre-booked appointment.
