Book it in for mot in leicester make sure you get it there and have it tested. This is your only legal way other than using a trailer. This way your covered by the law to drive it.

Legally, you shouldn't drive it on the road without tax and MoT. You ARE allowed to drive it to an MoT test station (with prior appointment and make sure they have your name and reg no.). So you could book it into a test station near to where you live in Leicester and drive it there.......

Not meaning to be unhelpful - but I'm pretty sure that whilst you can drive to an pre-booked MOT (and you can drive it home if it fails too I think....) - You MUST have it taxed...
