S.O.R.N. is a legal statement that a vehicle is off road. It should be moved on a trailer or flatbed. Could be towed with the Reg number of the towing vehicle covering the rear number plate but still possible to get stopped.

so should I just purchase the car tomorrow and collect it Monday morning and go to the post office a mile away with it and the its all dealt with

Hi, the vehicle is sorn so the only way it can be moved is with tax or by the motor trade. If you are stopped you can be fined also if you are involved in an accident ,would you be insured if the vehicle is not legal.

 

Best wait till it is taxed.

You cant go to the PO with it. You can go with the documents and the fee then return with the tax and drive it away.

Yes you can as long as you have the details off the log book but the disc will go to the registered keeper. Check first with http://www.askmid.com/ that the insurance has been registered.

You can only do it online if it is registered to u.

Doing it on line would also mean you can't drive it for a further 5 or 6 days till the disk arrives. If you take the paperwork to the post office they will give you a disk there and then

There is 5 working days grace for the display of a licence if it is taken out on-line or by post.

Dosn't that depend on when the previous disc expires? OP hasn't mentioned when that was.

Or the relevant declaration applying to the vehicles ceases to be in force, s.33(1B), Vehicles Excise & Registration Act 1994.

 

The SORN declaration ceases to be in force by taking out a licence.
