SORN
Barkalarr - 11/8/14 at 09:27 AM

My tax ran out at the end of last month while I was out of the country.

I've come to SORN it this morning having not purchased a new tax disc and it says "This Vehicle Has Already Been Declared SORN"

I haven't done this since I've only just opened the letter this morning from the DVLA - so my question is;

If you don't renew your car tax, do the DVLA automatically SORN your vehicle ?

Must be new if they do?

As I got a fine for failing to SORN a car I bought that was SORN'ed by previous owner

Cover your a### send in a SORN form by post, keep a photo copy and proof of posting.

Theres no way they'd SORN automatically and cut off the revenue stream surely?!

Current DVLA website;

quote:

You’ll automatically be fined £80, will need to get a new tax disc and must pay any tax arrears if you don’t make a SORN when you have to.



No mention of automatic SORN.
