I have just made a DVLC vehicle enquiry about a motor-car that is being used on the road. The vehicle status gives this message ... anyone tell me what it means? Should the vehicle be on the road?

If you’re the registered keeper of a vehicle that’s not being taxed and is kept 'off the road' you must make a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification).
it means its currently sorn and needs to be retaxed or re-sorned by a certain date.


Dave.
The phrase "SORN not due", if I remember correctly, means that the vehicls has been SORNed but is not due for renewal (SORNs only last a year).
It seems that the vehicle in question should not be on the road, but I may be wrong (I was once before).

Thanks for the replies. It seems to me then, that the vehicle should not be used on the road with that status?
That's how I see it. I can't think of any situation where a car with a SORN can be legally driven on public roads.

Thanks again, guys. Your help is appreciated.
It might be legal to drive on a SORN to an MoT test centre.

If a car had been SORNed it would need a vaild MoT before it could be retaxed.
yeah i agreee with cathyhuns. Im fairly sure the vehicle cannot be driven on the road unless it is on the way to a MOT garage & has a prebooked appointment for the test or something to shop the police if they pull you over. you still need the usual insurance, tax & valid licence or you will be in trouble. SORN means--- Statutory Off Road Notice. You would normally apply for one of these for your car if you decide to take it off the road for a while or do not intent on renewing the road tax. I hope this helps.....
