A quick google shows that there are an estimate 5 million odd vehicles on the UK roads without a valid MOT, around half a million with no tax, and 300,000 with no insurance. Plod has his work cut out catching this lot. The typical fine for not having a valid MOT is £100, it might be cheaper to risk the fine than make alternative arrangements (car hire, taxis etc).

What about other things - for example driving with only one number plate light working ?

it should be a hanging offence🤣

NJ, "If you are stopped by the police and found with illegal tyres, you could receive a £2,500 fine and 3 penalty points per tyre."
