    Have a look at point 4, i would say that applies to you mate.

    You must make a SORN if one of the following applies:

    -if you don’t renew your vehicle tax and you are keeping the vehicle off the road
    -if you are applying for a refund of vehicle tax and keeping the vehicle off the road
    -if you buy an untaxed vehicle and do not tax it
    -if the vehicle has no valid insurance in place
    -if you are cancelling the insurance and keeping the vehicle off the road
    -every 12 months if you continue to keep your vehicle off the road
    -in advance if your vehicle is to be kept off the road in the UK when you are abroad

    Also relevant :


    Vehicle insurance law

    The new vehicle insurance law means the registered keeper of a vehicle must keep it taxed and insured while using it on the road.

    You must declare SORN if your vehicle is:

    not taxed and off the road
    not insured and off the road
    taxed and uninsured - you must insure your vehicle or make a refund application with a SORN declaration to DVLA

    If you're not insured and haven't made a SORN, you could face a penalty.

    If you have a vehicle that is taxed and not insured which you will be keeping off road you need to return the tax disc. You can do this on a V14 (including nil value discs) and declare SORN at the same time.

    As far as i'm aware Yes you can ride your bike to a ' PRE-BOOKED' MOT without tax but you must have valid insurance policy.
