My bike is going to need it's first MOT in Jul. I probably won't be back till Sept.

A few questions:
1. What are the repercussions of not doing it till I get back?
2. What are the repercussions of having a short SORN on future value? - I guess I'd have to declare it to my insurers?
3. Will my bike fail if: a) it has a slightly warped rear disc that sometimes rubs? b) has a disconnected clutch cut-out switch?
Cheers.

Happy to be corrected on any of these:
1. None, as long as your first ride is to a pre-booked MOT
2. None
3. a) could be advisory or fail depending on the tester and the degree of warpage. Either way, why wouldn't you get it fixed? Brakes are pretty important.
  b) not an issue

Cheers, that's really helpful. I'll double check what the deal is with insurance.

Either way, why wouldn't you get it fixed?

Previously, because it's the rear which just created a bit of noise sometimes, and was about to go into storage. Now, because I'm not able to do the work myself and don't want to spend the money on a garage to fix (or cause my mate the inconvenience of taking it there).
