Getting a vehicle that has a SORN to an MOT garage

I have been offered a car that is 200 miles from me that has been off the road with a Sorn since September last year and has no current MOT.

Am I right in thinking if I book an MOT local to me beforehand, I can drive the car back the 200 miles to me to get it done?

I have fully comprehensive insurance for my current car. Do I need to inform my insurance company that I would be driving this SORN car for this journey
