The vehicle without an MOT is not entitiled to be on the highway and so the driver is liable for all costs (even if s/he would not otherwise be so)
If your MOT (Ministry of Transport) certificate has expired, you are legally prohibited from driving the vehicle on public roads. This can result in fines, penalty points on your driving license, and potential insurance complications. Additionally, if you're involved in an accident while driving an un MOT'd vehicle, your insurance might not cover you. It’s advisable to get the MOT renewed promptly to avoid these issues.
Drop an anonymous note into your local police station. You should report it, no insurance = no payout in accident. No MOT = possibly dangerous, maybe brakes fail, maybe chassis collapses while driving.
it depends on what you mean by inspected? inspected as in a service or inspected for an mot. 1.... as a service no it is not a law to have your car serviced only a recommendation by the vehicles manufacturer the service manual should give you the approximate millage to get the vehicle serviced/inspected. 2.... if you mean for an mot yes its against the law to drive a motor vehicle on a public road with out a valid Vosa MOT, and can carry a penalty of a fine at a magistrates court,it is also possible in the event of an accident if the vehicle is found to have no valid mot certificate the insurance company(s) policy states this makes the insurance policy invalid which could lead to very serious offences depending on the seriousness of the accident and injuries caused to other parties! this is why a vehicle has an mot to show that its fit, road worthy & safe to be on the road for the owners safety and others around i hope this is the answer you were looking for!!

No! - As I understand it, the vehicle must have a valid MOT certificate if it is to be kept on a public highway. Also it may invalidate any insurance cover the vehicle may have.
You insurance will be invalidated and you could be prosectuted for driving without insurance or MOT. Needless to say you would have to pay for any damages at the least.
To get an MOT certificate, you have to produce your vehicle at an approved MOT testing station. You will obviously have to bring your car back from France to do that. I don't know if your UK issued MOT would be valid in France.
