I'd ring the DVLA and sort something out. 0870 240 0010 (not sue if that will work from abroad so website is https://www.dvla.gov.uk)

Are you saying that you're in France, with the car, and the MOT is about to expire? If you're on UK plates then your car will be illegal in France too. It might be worth a day trip on the ferry to get it MOT'd.

If the car is in the UK then you may be able to SORN online.
