Driving a SORN vehicle...

[Spinal]

Question...

I've decided to sell one of my motorbikes (one of the two identical Cagiva Roadsters I have) - but it doesn't have an MOT... nor road tax as last year my insurance company wanted £60 to insure it (as a pose to £10 the year before) ...

I know I'm allowed to drive a vehicle without MOT to a pre-booked appointment for an MOT.... but does that apply if it's SORN as well?

Or should I be looking at renting a van and doing the whole spiel?

As it can't be taxed without a valid MOT, a pre-booked MOT appointment should be fine.

If I declare SORN does my vehicle have to be kept off the public roads?

Yes. Any vehicle that is kept or used on public roads must have a valid tax disc. There is one exception - when the vehicle is going to a pre-arranged MOT test and the vehicle has valid insurance for the journey.
