Can I Tax My Car Without MOT TOYOTA Camry VII Saloon (_V5_) (09.2011 - ...)

Since your car is over three years old, a valid MOT is legally required before you can renew your vehicle tax. The DVLA and Post Office will check your MOT status before allowing you to pay for car tax, and online systems also verify this automatically.
If your MOT has expired, you must get a new MOT certificate before you can tax your car. Driving or taxing a vehicle without a valid MOT is illegal and may invalidate your insurance. However, there are exceptions only for vehicles under three years old, those with MOT exemptions (such as classic cars over 40 years old), or vehicles with a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) which are not driven on public roads.
If you need to get your MOT done but face delays, you can legally drive your car without tax only to a pre-booked MOT test, provided you keep proof of the booking and go directly to the test center. After passing the MOT, you must tax your vehicle immediately.
In summary, you must renew your MOT before you can tax your 2015 Toyota Camry. If you are facing delays, book your MOT as soon as possible and use the MOT appointment confirmation as proof if you need to drive the car to the test center without tax. Driving or taxing without a valid MOT is not allowed otherwise.

I’m wondering if I can tax my 2015 Toyota Camry without a valid MOT. It’s due for renewal soon, but I’m facing some delays getting it serviced. Has anyone dealt with this issue before? Any advice would be appreciated!
