According to the DVLA:
"An MOT certificate is valid for 12 months. However, of your vehicle fails the test within this period and you do not rectify the problem, then technically you are driving an unroadworthy vehicle and if stopped, subject to a £2500 fine and 3 points. However, once the problem is rectified, then the original MOT certificate is still valid and you do not need to have the car retested."
