Are there no garages near you that would sort an mot out? Plenty will if you pay them the extra, and the cars not stupidly unroadworthy? Best to go and talk to them in person though, lots of them get caught out on the phone and loose there MOT licence thingys, it happened to a mates dad, I've had some off-roaders that's were stupidly unroadworthy put through mots hahaha
