Can I drive a SORN car to an MoT?

I have my Porsche 911 that's been SORN for a few years. Can I just insure it so I can drive it to my mechanics for an MoT or will I have to un-SORN it first?

All-new 911 is lighter and faster. Retains familiar shape with a new interior. Six speed PDK or seven speed manual transmissions. Still the definitive sports car.
