Would a Northern Ireland registered car/bike require a G.B MOT test if it was used in GB after reaching 3 years old,(the first N.I MOT test is due at 4 years old) or can it be driven legally since it is not G.B registered.

As long as it's still registered under the Irish address, and it's taxed in Ireland, then it should be fine.
But once it reaches four years you might have to drive it back to get it MOT'd?.

There is no requirement to have the vehicle tested at 3 years old as long as it is still NI registered, but it must be roadworthy to use it in GB. You can be prosecuted or be held liable if the vehicle is inspected or involved in an accident and is found to be unroadworthy.
At the 4th year, it must be tested, either in GB or NI to get a valid certificate.
