Unhappy MOT & Tax conundrum

Hi all, iv made a school boy error and need a little advice. Car tax has run out and so has the MOT. I cant Tax it to drive it for an MOT, and i cant provide an MOT to Tax it. Can i legally drive it to get an MOT and then Tax it straight away? Or do i have to trailor it to get an MOT and go from there?

Cheers

Make sure you can prove it was booked.

Yes you can drive with no tax as long as your going to the MOT station

And don't stop and park on the way there or on the way back even to get the tax.
