dog321fish Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Statutory Off Road Notificaion Have the rules been changed? If so when ? I previously had to declare sorn every 12 months, unless I put the car back on the road obviously. Now it seems the car is on an indefinite sorn.

maher the hermit Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Bugger best check mine as its been sorned for over a year and havn't checked since.....dont want a fine Quote
gary6303 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Not that i know of, i sorned my e30 and my manta and get sent a tax reminder but i dont send it off as they are in bits and sorned. I think they stay sorned till you tax it. Quote
Sutty2006 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I think, as of january if you make a sorn it becomes indefinate....untill you tax it then sorn it again. If your sorn was due to run out at the end of december/january, go on the gov website and sorn it again. It only takes a few minutes. Quote
john p Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I sorn my manta on jan 1st but it will be back on the road end feb or march Quote
Mantney Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I had to renew mine last month and had a reminder for it. I sent Sorn declarations for the other manta and my bsa when I applied for their log books but have never received any confirmation, reminders or fines for these. Possibly because the both haven't been taxed for decades. Quote

That is correct, my son works at the DVLA, and I just checked that out with him. Quote
davo Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Just opened my post and had two tax/sorn reminders Went on web site to declare sworn ,and it came up that my vehicle is now indefiantly sorn until I tax it. Must say that the web site is not very clear !!!!!! Quote
dog321fish Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 I was confused by the DVLA website, hence my question on here. Quote
john p Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 That is correct, my son works at the DVLA, and I just checked that out with him. can he find an old car I used to own Quote
maher the hermit Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Just checked mine on DVLA and it states sorned so happy but will keep an eye on it........ Quote
Julian Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) can he find an old car I used to own You can do that yourself, I'm not sure how, but there is someone on here that has checked on many vehicles. What's the reg;? Edited January 8, 2014 by Julian Quote

Rick-Manta Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 That's a much better idea than having to sorn it every year like it was a tax disc expiring. It's just a shame that you now have to sorn with no insurance as I have a Manta with tax and test but it's not insured. I can insure for 1 day to take it for a spin or whatever, but since I'm forced to send the tax disc back and sorn it, I don't have that option as I'd be driving without road tax and you can't buy 1 day tax or buy a tax disc at all with temporary cover.
