Final update - in the end I bit the bullet and contacted SAGA. They could not have been more helpful. Predictably I am not the only person facing this situation and I think they are probably handling it on a one by one basis according to circumstances. They have agreed to cover me until I can get back to the UK for an MOT, and have asked me to obtain either an MOT equivalent from the Czech Republic or, if that is not possible (it isn't) then to have the main basic things required by an MOT checked and certified by a garage so that if there is a claim, I can show the car was roadworthy.  They have not asked to see this certification in advance, nor do they require me to return by a certain date.
All the necessary information about their agreement has been added to my file and was read out to me as it was recorded and I was asked to confirm I had understood and agreed it.   
Great relief! Thanks to all who contributed to this thread.  It helped to clarify my mind!

Hi I know it's been a while but have you had any checks while boarding on the ferry or eurotunnel I am in same sort of situation minus covid restrictions now.
