There'd be a cancellation charge, but it's cheaper than a temporary policy.

Any thoughts? Will they blacklist him?

Get someone with a traders policy to take it?

There are firms offering to pick the car up, MOT it, and return it. All
for £45. It sounds a bit too good to be true.

Hmmm. Let's see.
They fail the MOT and offer to do repairs.
You accept and get fleeced.
You decline, they return the car at some stage with failed MOT.

The old "if it sounds too good to be true" applies.
