Somehow I have been able to avoid declaring SORN on my pre-war vehicle since 2005. I was obviously aware of this but computerised records should have shown that it wasn't being taxed after being "moth-balled" after three years' continuous testing and taxing. Given that tax was exempt from payment over this time I could hardly be seen to be evading tax. Does anyone have experience of being penalised for this offence.

Friend forgot to tax or sorn his Minor for nearly a year. When he realised he phoned DVLA who simply sent out a new tax disc and no further action. As no revenue was involved they told him they don't normally pursue such matters

Thanks for that peppiB. It would really annoy me to have an £80 fine and then to be be given a free tax disc.

Technically you could be fined, for every year untaxed or un-sorned, but the DVLA is more interested in folk with untaxed moderns..
