Help: car 2 years out of mot driving to/from place of repair

Advice

Bought of car off my mate that’s been out of mot and tax for shy of 2 years - Audi tt 2008 - wondering what the rules are for driving it home before I get it booked for some general maintenance and mot - it’s been at his garage replaced brakes and shocks and had a service runs fine - just needs a new belt and water pump as those are old and just need doing - it’s last mot has nothing major so it’s not covered under the failed mot thing where u can drive it to home/place of repair/home then for retest mot - so what are the rules of driving it home on this aspect

He’s being kicked out his unit in couple days and I can’t collect it on a weekday to take to a mot and be covered under it that way as I’m at work and can’t pre book over calk as my locals ain’t open on weekends
