MoT expired, but car not on road
My Porsche 997 is currently in a friends garage on private land. The MoT expired last month. I am currently abroad and have no plans to use the car until February 2013. The Tax Disc is valid until March 20 2013.
Am I breaking any law by not putting the car through it's MoT until February 2013?
When I do use it, the first drive will be to the garage to have the car inspected for it's MoT.

As long as it remains continuously insured while off the road you are legal until you MoT and re-tax it in March. But probably better to SORN it.

The nearside front fog light on my 2013 Vauxhall Corsa doesn't work, I have changed the bulb but still not working, will my car fail its MoT because of this?
Official advice is to place the French Crit'Air sticker on the right side of vehicle windscreen but for most UK cars this will impinge more than 40mm into zone B and won't that therefore be an MoT failure?
My 2010 Hyundai ix35 has indicators in the door mirrors. One has failed. Does this mean that the car will fail its next MoT?
