Of course!

Police don't give a $%^£ about the mot, not where I'm from anyway (Northern Ireland).

Yes you can, if your MOT has run out you can still drive to a test station that it is booked in to :happy2:

I think your allowed to drive until midnight on the day of the expiry but after that you can only drive to an MOT station iirc

.
ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) equipment which many Police cars carry, might show if your car is MOT valid or not. Insurance status most definitely will show up.
