If you have RAC/AA cover you could always immobilize it in such way the mechanic won't be able to diagnose by the roadside and just get a recovery truck to take you home  :lipsrsealed:

All well and good, but they may smell something when they turn up and it has a few body panels, doors, glass and maybe an engine missing.

I can just imagine an AA bloke opening the bonnet, stroking his chin then turning and saying "see, there's ya problem!"

I looked into this recently. I wanted to move a Polo 2 miles up the road, no Tax/MOT or insurance, and a non runner.
The cheapest shiply quoted was £55 plus fees, a bit steep for 10 minutes work.
Any suggestions? Camberley area.
