When is it legal to drive without an MOT certificate?

Explanation: A car is first required to pass an MOT test at three years old (four years old in Northern Ireland). The only time it is permitted to drive a car older than three (or four) years without a valid MOT certificate is when driving to an MOT test, or for repairs ahead of an MOT test. Some vehicles made before 1960 may also be driven without an MOT test, but must be considered in roadworthy condition
