hi there,its not a good thing on any modern car to be just parked on the drive for that time span,your biggest problem will be the brakes,ie the handbrake couds well be stuck on or releasing but not properly,also the brake callipers could have seized a bit as well,the discs will be surface rusted causing loss of eficiency.i would advise if the vehicle is going for the mot to have the brakes serviced first,that way you wil avoid the failure on brakes and the rush of getting it done afterwards.
