Need to get the car MOT's and have established that it is fine to drive it to the testing station (pre booked) without tax or MOT. I however need to get the screen changed to go through the test, is it legal to drive somewhere to have works done prior to having an MOT done?

I intend on driving sraight to the testing garage after the screen is changed

I really don't know, but can you not be "driving to the MOT place" should you be stopped while going to the windscreen place?

I would say the chance of being stopped is really slim, but then I remind myself we are talking about not only you, but you and your car

indeed, bit of a sore thumb she is

Autoglass etc offer a mobile service - In fact, don't most wndscreen replacement places?

Of course you might be getting it done far cheaper at the place you want to take it.

Thought of that, however I dont have much time on the day for the MOT so thought it would speed things up if I had it done at the workshop.

Better to get windscreens done in a dry warmish workshop. Some jerk turned up to do mine when it was hammering down with rain and he had no awning - just said he'd "be quick". "S8d off" says I, rang the insurers and told them their servie was unacceptable, went elsewhere and the insurers still paid.

I do my windscreens every 50-60K - a swift tap with a hammer just around the corner from the windscreen place after first checking my screen is in and £40 later a fresh screen and a great view with no chips, scratches, pitting whatever.

Hope you enjoy using the premiums I pay to save money

For hiking my premiums up in a round about way, Why would someone do this?

I believe you're permitted to drive to and from a pre-booked MOT centre, and also directly to and from a garage to have work carried out that's essential to pass the MOT. You can, however, still be done for driving an unroadworthy vehicle.
