Default Mot

I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on this. My friend around the corner is building a cobra replica and took his car prior to the iva test for an mot.

I know you do not need to have an mot..... But .. Is it legal to drive your car to a local mot test centre prior to the iva test as long as you are insured?

Personally I would rather take it for a spin and get the brakes, emissions checked first but don't really want to trailer it.

I've also heard that if the car is booked on the system it will need an mot every year instead of after 3. Am I correct or have I misinterpreted this?

I've tried searching for old threads but cannot find any

Thanks

David

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
