That is the greater danger IMHO than the presence or absence of a piece of paper.
fair comment

Pretty sure the fixed penalty for no MOT is £100 now.

Of course if you get involved in a bump that injures someone and during the routine checks it's found you had no MOT stand by for a kicking from the court even if the cars condition had sod all to do with the accident.

An Xperia Z1 Compact as a present for Mrs G - for no other reason than she's as special today as she was over 25 years ago when we first met!!!
