Check with your insurance , I believe they only cover you for a max of 3 months abroad.
If you are staying in one country they also will have a limit as to how long you can use a foreign registered vehicle (it's often 3 months to correspond with the insurance).All that aside as soon as your MOT/tax expire your insurance will cease. You usually can't insure a foreign registered vehicle in a country other than that in which it is registered either.
Good luck. & have fun
