Answer options

A notification to tell DVLA that a vehicle isn't being used on the road

Show the answer

A notification to tell DVLA that a vehicle isn't being used on the roadThis was the right answer

If you want to keep a vehicle untaxed and off the public road, you must make a SORN. It's an offence not to do so. When you've made a SORN, you won't have to pay vehicle tax, but you also won't be able to use the vehicle on the road. The SORN remains valid until your vehicle is taxed, sold, scrapped or exported.
