They have six months to deal with the matter. No mot doesn't require a nip.

It does require a stop to obtain details of who you intend to prosecute, then you have six months by using the "old ways".
All the OP has to do is provide details of the driver.

ANPR checks INSURANCE, MOT, Vehicle status such as VED and registered keeper status.....

Maybe but I managed to drive around for 6+ months with no MOT, in & out of central London multiple times, across the channel twice and up & down the M1 & M4 and didn't get a pull despite passing probably hundreds of cameras. I only discovered when I tried to renew tax and it came back with no MOT.

Maybe they don't bother with something as minor as lack of MOT if the car is not of interest in any other respect?

Or a section 172 notice.

You weren't using the vehicle and you name who was if required to do so.

I presumed from the OP that the OP was driving it to the indy garage when they passed the van, rather than the mechanic driving it to the test centre.

If your MOT has expired are you allowed to drive it to a garage (who will then take it to a test centre)? Or is the dispensation only for going directly to where it would be tested?
Would a customer necessarily know there was going to be a difference? E.g. "Hello, can I book my car in for an MOT, please?", "Certainly sir. Bring it in on Tuesday." Surely as far as the customer is concerned, that's booked in for an MOT and they can drive the car there, isn't it?

OP, do you have paperwork to back up the fact that it was on its way to be MOTed? E.g. an MOT certificate might help!
Even better if you have proof that it was booked in for an MOT, but I don't know what proof you'd have of that. Surely if you did have proof you wouldn't be expected to keep that proof for 6 months just in case you get ANPRed on the way without noticing, would you?

ANPR does not check the status of people, the clue is in number plate ie vehicles.

wrong.

Crosschecks

The National ANPR Data Centre is being built alongside the Police National Computer because of the need to be constantly updated with lists of suspect drivers and vehicles. Car registrations are checked against lists from the Police National Computer, including vehicles of interest to the police for crimes such as burglary or theft of petrol. Uninsured drivers will be identified from data provided by the insurance industry, vehicles without a valid MoT test certificate will be flagged, and vehicles without a valid tax disc or with unlawful number plates will be identified.

It is only cross checked if the operator decides to do so. If it were a dvla van they do not have access the the pnc.
