How do you know if your vehicle is taxed, MOT'd and insured?

You don't receive MOT reminders, many people don't realise that they are driving without a valid MOT until they need to tax their car.
You could be driving illegally for upto a year! Many people think their car is insured but what happens if the insurance company doesn't auto renew your policy?
