Thanks Pete for the information, I couldn't find anything in the gov.uk website that tells us what to do.

Mike, I'm sure you can have the car tested in the interim, however from the Gov. website......

If your vehicle tax and MOT run out in April
You cannot renew your vehicle tax until your MOT expiry date has been extended. It will be extended a few days before it was originally due to expire.

This means you might need to wait until later in April to tax your vehicle.

Check that the MOT expiry date has been extended before you tax your vehicle.
