No MOT does not invalidate your insurance. If you wrote the motor off on the way to the MOT station (see what I did there?) it's value would be effected by the lack of one, and you would be fully covered for the TP.
I know someone who, several years ago, bought a VW CamperVan in Germany and drove it to an MOT in Inverness (where it passed) stopping only for fuel (Human and Motor), all completely legally ....

Just because you don't have an MOT doesn't mean your car isn't roadworthy, and it works the other way round. MOT just proves the car was roadworthy on the day and time it was tested.
For example if someone crashed into you, your car was 3 years old and for some reason you had it fully serviced 2 weeks ago then you could argue it was road worthy. The issue would come if you wrote off your car.
On the other hand I worked with someone who was told by the police that even though the car had an MOT it wasn't roadworthy and he needed to get it off the road asap.

Saw a guy get done for something similar in RAF Laarbruch many moons ago...
