Yes thats right, my Chevette got towed up the M11 on a pole by a breakdown van (after dropping an exhaust valve head at 4000 revs! :o)
 I assume the rota mechanic knew the motorway law.
Once you get it home you MUST make a SORN declaration.

Alas its at £40 now, suspect it will go for a few hundred. Still cheap though

Oh! and you are allowed to drive a car with a failed MOT to the place where it is to be mended, then to a pre-booked MOT.

Sorry about stating the obvious there but you can be a bit creative with these allowances.
My record for distance between MOT fail and place of repair is 63 miles ;D

Times you are allowed to drive without Tax and MOT
   To/From a prebooked MOT (tester's discretion on whether it's safe enough to drive away though)
   To/From a place of repair for MOT failure - must be pre-booked
   To/From a pre-booked SVA test (same rules on discretion, SVA obviously not really applicable to an Omega)
