Declare SORN - Register your vehicle as off the road

Tell DVLA you’re taking your vehicle off the road, for example if you’re keeping it in a garage. This is sometimes called a ‘Statutory Off Road Notification’ (SORN).

Benefits of SORN

If you SORN your car you don't have to insure your vehicle, pay road tax (another term for Vehicle Excise Duty or VED) or have a valid MOT – potentially saving you hundreds of pounds. Additionally, if you SORN your vehicle you’ll be refunded any full months of unused tax you’ve already paid for.
