Why you need an MOT certificate
It is generally an offence to use on a public road, a vehicle of testable age that doesn’t have a current test certificate, except when:
* taking it to a test station for an MOT test booked in advance
* bringing it away from a test station after it has failed the MOT test, to a place of repair
* taking it to a place, by previous arrangement, where problems that caused the vehicle to fail its MOT test, can be repaired
* bringing it away from a place where the problems with the vehicle have been repaired
Even in the above circumstances you may still be prosecuted for driving an unroadworthy vehicle if it doesn’t comply with various regulations affecting its construction and use. Your car insurance may also be invalid.

Re: Returning with car
Get over what exactly?
For the record Mr Harris, I have a clean driving licence & no criminal convictions, so why would you assume I am "vehemently anti-police"? A point already disproved by my statement that you have nothing to fear Spanish police if you're doing nothing wrong.
I'd also like to ask why you keep throwing questions at me, but fail to answer the ones I presented for you. Try answering those in future rather than making blanket generalisations about me.

Re: Returning with car
Once again I have to ask to to stick to the topic rather than discussing the pros and cons of the UK police force.
Whatever you think of "Mr Plod" or OB as you describe them, it is not relevant here.

Re: Returning with car
Point taken, however I have been accused of being Old Bill in this thread. I am not, I just find it difficult to stomach someone who accuses them all of being corrupt just because the odd one has been found to be so. We should be as proud of them as we should be of our armed forces.

I'll also agree with you Mr Harris that yes we should be proud of the police force, the fact that we aren't though is the issue that needs addressing. Now, back to the football
