No MOT, providing the vehicle is not dangerous to drive, is NOT a reason for the Police to have a car towed away. A car can be towed away, for no insurance, being driven by an uninsured person, or even reasonable suspicion of being driven with no insurance. No driving license or no tax are also a valid reason to have a car towed away. According to Surrey Police, if they tow your car away by mistake, providing the officer was not negligent, do not have to refund you the costs of recovering your vehicle.

If your MOT runs out is your car still covered for insurance purposes?
The only benefit to an MOT certificate is to be able to tax your car or prevent a fine if you are required to produce your documents by the police. It does not invalidate your insurance or devalue your car. For example in the event of an accident and your car was written off (this usually being the only time an insurance company will request sight of the MOT certificate and incidentally they know if you have a valid certificate or not just by checking online with VOSA) the insurance company can only devalue your car if it can be proven that you have deliberately avoided to MOT the car due to the excessive expense of doing so, i.e. you know it will cost more than the car is worth so you did not bother. This is difficult for the Insurance company to prove. In the abscence of them being able to prove this all they can deduct is the cost of an MOT and this is generally a standard fee of £60. It is important to remember that an MOT certificate is only fully valid on the day it is issued. Anything can go wrong with it the moment it is driven from the testing station.
