If its drivable I'd drive it up to Santander, catch the boat and if stopped in UK explain situation with details

You would be an uninsured and irresponsible.
What if you hit someone, or injured someone, or worse ?

If you explain the situation to your insurance company, they should cover a non-M.O.T'd car while you drive directly to the garage. (Probably best to pre-arrange this for immediately on your arrival in Portsmouth, or Plymouth, with a local garage) and hope it passes. You're in trouble if it fails !
You are allowed to drive a non M.O.T.'d or taxed car directly to a PRE-ARRANGED M.O.T. test. But you MUST be sure the garage has you booked in.
Good luck.
Is the car on Spanish plates or UK plates ??

Good luck.
This does not apply in Spain…you can’t even drive a Spanish reg car to ITV station if it has expired…it must be transported!
