Yes, but which Christmas is currently impossible to predict!
Slightly flippant answer admittedly but to serve the purpose of pointing out that at the moment, 7/9xx values are in the doldrums a bit, certainly compared to others.
Also like John suggested, well worth investing £55 in another MoT test, most people won't, unless they're desperate for transport, consider a car with a short MoT even if it is coming into the spring - they'll want to spend their spare time enjoying the better weather, painting the fence/shed/windows or whatever else they haven't been able to do over winter that desperately needs doing, not faffing about getting a car ready for MoT in the hope it will pass.
By putting a fresh MoT on it, you've removed that doubt.
As for the value, the 7/9xx will have its time and be worth a pretty penny, just not yet. Seen it happen with many makes and models, 20 years ago you couldn't give a Rover SD1 away, now they're regularly changing hands for £12k+++
I'm not suggesting the 7/9xx will command such prices, just pointing out one example - there are countless others that have increased in value.
