Craig, your sig is a damn mess these days. It takes 10 minutes and a microscope to find anything - I hope your paperwork is better organised.
EDIT: realise mine isn't great, but there are no links - it helps when getting insurance quotes at renewal!

I ran without a spare for a few years. I moved my sound system around & reinstalled it a few months ago.
Good thing really, as I recently hit a brick which broke the tyre & bend the alloy slightly. There's no way a tin of tyre weld would have helped. I'd have to have called road-side assistance.
It's worth checking if your road-side assistance will not charge for a call-out to a car without a serviceable spare wheel when it is supplied with one.

Spares are not checked as part of an MOT.
