sorn

I have a Golf GTI, which has been garaged for 18 years, in my Mums name. It never got on SORN database and I obviously never have scrapped it as such. If I take it for an MOT, will it still come up on their computer do you think? And if not how do you go about re-registering it? It...

I have a small problem... and am getting really annoyed at the DVLA. I have two new cars, both with the tax disc expiring on Wednesday. I don't intent to re-tax either for a few months while I get one ready... That said, how do I declare SORN on these? The new keeper slip has a 12-digit...

My 2002 E220 has been in the garage for the last 3 years. Started up every 2 weeks and run up and down driveway (80 feet long). Battery permanently on ctek charger. Looking for any general advice before getting back on the road. Pre- sorn, the car was well serviced - new discs/pads allround. I...

I need to sell the old E55. The tax runs out at the end of the month, by when it should be gone (it will be on eBay within a few days). It stands on my driveway at the moment; from the tax point of view it will be legal to drive it on the road until the end of August, so I want to retain the...

Hi All, I have seen a s320 local to me which I quite like. The seller generally works abroad and so it has only ever convered around 1000 miles a year - sitting in storage for 9-10 months at a time. He seems to be very very maticulous in terms of its up keep so I am happy on that front but...

Hi, I moved house in 2010 and around the same time I thought I'd declared my car off road and sorn. However, I checked the details using a phone app the other day and the records say my car has not been taxed since 2010 (and not declared sorn). The car has been sitting on my drive in my new...

LADIES / GENTS So my 124 cabrio (yes the heritage one) has been sorn for what feels like forever.. nearly 2 years.. I am looking to bring her back to the road for the summer. step 1. I want to give her some new tyres for sure.. they havent been changed since 2009 car currently has 205/60/r15...

Three less well reported changes announced in the Budget that will benefit some of us: In order to reduce administration costs, SORN (Statutory Off Road Notifications) will now last indefinitely and not require renewing every year The grace period for not displaying a new tax disc (once...

My E280CDI (W211) has just been returned to the road after a 12 month layoff. Both batteries were disconnected during this period and trickle charged in the garage, but reconnected every 3 months and the engine ran for 20 minutes. Now having got the car Taxed and MOT'd, I have two faults that...

Folks Is may car still fully insured when it is on a SORN and garaged?

I've helped a friend buy a used car which is not currently taxed. We bought the car on Sat (17/12) it's been delivered to us and is now securely parked off-road on private property. Our friend is on holiday from 23rd Dec to mid January and would prefer (if possible) to tax the car from 1st...

Among motoring regulations to be changed is the annual renewal of SORN. It will continue until advised otherwise. Comon sense from a Government Department? Whatever next :dk:

hi our 2002 alfa 156 had a fault in june, so we purchased another car and i SORN'd the alfa and put it in my garage. The MOT has since expired. The alfa has our personal reg number on it (which i put on a couple of years ago). i now want to transfer this personal reg onto the new car...

Or not as the case may be. I have a car where the RFL was due on the 1st March 2011, so decided to register it SORN and keep it in the garage and save the months cost. Now I want to tax this car today as I expect I will want to drive it within the next month, but can't find a way to tax it...

I've been wondering about this one for a while....about 100 yards from where I live there's a car under covers - it's been there for at least 3 years, not moved once in that time I'm sure. It's on a public road, and I'm pretty sure it can't be taxed up to date, but obviously because it's under...

I have a car which is SORN and sitting in my garage, if I decide to put it back on the road how would I go about getting it to an MOT center. If I get the insurance to drive it on the road can I still drive it to the MOT center even though it currently does not have a valid MOT or any TAX?

At least, according to an article in The Register. I particularly liked one of the posted comments Yet according to the DVLA they never get it wrong, and it's all your fault :rolleyes: Fortunately, it seems that at least some courts have woken up to the bluff and bluster from DVLA though.

Hiya, So if I buy a car that's SORN, and I'm waiting for the insurance cert to come through before I can buy tax, can I drive it? Will PC Plod accept "there's no way I could buy tax" under some sort of grace period, or do I have to wait it out? :( It's insured and MOTd. Cheers all,

I have been asked a question by one of SWBMO friends and I don't know the answer. She has a car for sale which is advertised but not sold yet, the road tax runs out at the end of this month, If the car is not sold by the end of the month does she need to declare it SORNED or does she do nothing...

Just declared SORN on the SL. Did it online and the date came back as declared as from 01/10/09. How can this be? Surely the SORN can only be accepted for full calender months starting from the next month. I'm now going to apply for road fund duty refund. Can I claim for Oct as well since it...
