Taxing a SORNed motor

<< < (5/7) > >>

Just to drag this up.............

I am collecting the car on Thursday, and it has ben sold to me as SORNed.  However, I looked at the DVLA website last night and it said:

Date of Liability 01 12 2009
Date of First Registration 11 03 2002
Year of Manufacture 2002
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1587CC
CO2 Emissions 185g/Km
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status SORN Not Due

What does that mean please?

Thanks!

JumboBeef:
OK, ignore that post: it means it is SORNed until December this year.

Officially, no. It's an offence to use a vehicle on the road without displaying a valid tax disc.

In practice, they send the fines for not re-taxing or declaring SORN six weeks after the tax expires.

However, if you're stopped by the Police and the vehicle is untaxed or, worse still, SORN'd then you could be in trouble. ANPR cameras are becoming more common.

You can drive an un-taxed and/or un-MOTed vehicle to/from a pre-booked MOT test or for pre-booked repairs only.

Range Rover Blues:
There's no such thing as an MOT on demand anymore anyway, probably to stop people saying they were on their way.  The MOT has to be booked in before it can be started and the DVLA know straight away, the police can also see what your car failed for.

Big brother is watching you ;)
