Can I drive a car on SORN to a garage for MoT repairs?

My car is currently on SORN and it needs some work before it will pass the MoT.

I know I can drive my insured but SORN'd car to a pre-booked MoT without a valid MoT or road tax. However, if the car fails its MoT, can I drive it from the test station to a garage for repairs?

No, the car will need to be trailered to the garage or repaired by the garage that carries out the MoT.
