Have been breaking up and weighing in a 110 landy over the last year or more.

When I started (I mightbe wrong) but I thought  I seen a section on the V5 to make declaration that the vehicle has been dismantled totally by myself with no identity remaining (opposed to selling to a breaker/trade).

Now that I come to do the paper work, it's new V5C doesn't have that section anymore.

I look on the DVLA website and read ...

"If you have broken up the vehicle yourself, you must either continue to tax it or tell the DVLA that you are keeping it off the public road. You can do this by making a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification). You will need to make a SORN every year until you have taken it to an ATF, or told DVLA that you longer have it."

So...  am I stuck with this vehicle identity, having to forever SORN the thing?

That would be how I read it.

You have to take it to the dept of alcohol, tobacco and firearms :shocked:

From the second part of the statement I'd guess you need to write to them.  That said we couldn't unregister a stolen car without a police crime number, so that never got done.

I ended up sending off the new keeper slip with a made up address after getting no help from the DVLA when I rang them.

I wasn't going to sorn a car that doesn't exist every year.
If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is!
