If selling to a dealer, they will get in MOT'ed in a jiffy. I'm sure it'll pass with flying colours, courtesy of their local friendly pet MOT place
I'd be surprised if having only 3 weeks left on the current MOT will make any difference to them, although they might try to bid you downComment

I traded in a £500 Fiesta on a £4000 car from a main dealer and they never even looked at it. I mean that literally - we agreed a price and shook on it without them seeing the car in person.
When went to pick up the new car, salesmen started by saying, oh I should never have gave you £750 for that, should have been more like £250. As my face started to go red..... he quickly qualified with "It's ok, I'm not trying to change it, it's out problem"Comment

Be arsed and give it a thorough clean (get it valeted) you can then set a higher asking price/better tools for negotiating.
Good luck.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
