SORN
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005473
A formal declaration made to the UK vehicle licensing agency (DVLA) that a registered vehicle is being kept off public roads, which exempts the keeper from vehicle tax and insurance duties while it stays off the road. The declaration is made online or by post, and the vehicle must be stored on private land. Under current rules it continues until the vehicle is taxed again, sold or scrapped, so it needs no annual renewal.
