The SORN

tommyboy · 24-03-11, 04:37 PM

After much digging around and phone call's to the previous owner...Ive found out the car was last taxed in 1995!!!! (Taken from the dvla website)

* you no longer have the vehicle and DVLA has been informed
* your insurance company has written off the vehicle
* you take the vehicle abroad permanently
* you apply for a refund of vehicle tax and don’t keep the vehicle
* you are keeping the vehicle off the road and untaxed for less than 14 days
* your vehicle was last taxed before 31 January 1998

-------------------------

Would i need to re-apply for the sorn notice when the car get's back onto the road so i can re-tax it?...Dont want a hefty fine to come up my way.even though i submitted Sorn application when i got the car.

Help!!

You need to apply for it now and you should have had a response from the dvla if you previously applied.

The rules recently changed whereby you either have to have insurance or declare the sorn.

Once you have SORNed it, I believe you are back in the taxation requirements.
SORN it annually, just like you are taxing it. They don't even allow a few days grace now, before they start the prosecution process, so desperate are they for revenue.
