DVLA - 'ere, wos goin' on?
nairb:
My cb550k3 was taken off the road before the sorn came about. So its not on a sorn. I phoned the dvla up a couple of years ago and said would they put it on a sorn.
The answer from the dvla was NO. It can only be done when taxing the vehicle. Maybe this has changed?. Its not even declared as an historic vehicle yet and without a sorn in place it might not be possible to do at the post office so its another 10 week wait for the paper work to clear the dear old dvla.

These days it must be either SORN or taxed, it doesn't matter which but you have to do one or the other. You can't have it both on SORN and Taxed at the same time, only one or the other. If its taxed for road use, it must be insured. If its SORN, it doesn't have to be insured. This is the case for vehicles registered as Historic or not eligible to be registered as Historic yet.

Just to explain further, they do not need a response UNLESS you want to tax it or tell them you no longer own it - they are not asking you to re-declare SORN. So an absolutely pointless letter.

Just checked a bike I've had (in bits) for 26 years - a CB77. It was classed as not taxed, so I sorned it. At least it is now on their radar as currently cared for. It was an old blue V5c , so I suppose It could appear forgotten about.
The other bike I was worried about is already classed as sorned and I could'nt find a way of updating that.

An interesting bit of info. I just went on line and managed to sorn my cb550k3 which has been in bits for years and has/is being restored. It was last taxed before the sorn system was implemented. I now expect a letter from the dvla wanting an explanation why its not been on a sorn before......
When did this all change. Several years ago they would not let me put the machine on a sorn. Now I can so it seems.
