Sounds like a proper tool!

Indeed, this is the same company that didn't get me a tax disk until a few weeks after it had ran out...

You might want to point out it will be you with points and a fine if you get caught as the driver, all because by the sounds of it your company can't manage their vehicles efficiently.

There's no points for driving without an MOT just a small fine.

As others have stated, the driver is responsible for ensuring the vehicle meets all requirements. £60 non-endorsable ticket for yourself for using/driving a vehicle with the MoT. If you stated that you'd been told to drive the vehicle by your boss I'm sure some of my colleagues would also pay them a visit and issue them an additional ticket for permitting use of a vehicle with no MoT.

Had it in the past where a hire vehicle was stopped with no MoT, poor customer had to be given a ticket and then the manager got one as well, the company paid up for both out of good faith.
