Problem declaring SORN

From: Champ on 7 Apr 2010 05:08 My Garage Manager [1] tells me that I need to renew the SORN for my 750 turbo. I've not received a reminder from DVLA. On the DVLA web site, it asks me to enter the 11 digit reference number from the V5. Unfotunately, the example document shown on the site is the 'modern' V5C (the gatefold style), and my document is the older single piece of paper style. There is a reference number shown on the doc, which is 11 digits (4+3+4) [shown in the bottom right section of the blue section, and again in the red section], but when I enter this into the web site, it says it doesn't match to any vehicle. I've called the DVLA number (the one with a human being behind it), but "Due to a high volume of calls..." etc Anyone got any ideas?

A recorded delivery letter, although expensive, would surely cover you against future (more expensive) 'action' by DVLA.

Those haven't been valid for a few years, and should all have been replaced with V5Cs by now - they're meant to have sent V5Cs out automagically, on re-taxing or SORNing, but some that've been off the road for a while have been missed. You'll need to get on to DVLA to request a replacement manually.

Sounds like Charlie's suggestion of a letter is the best idea. -- Champ We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

I've not received a reminder from DVLA. /snip/ I have a horrid feeling that the Honda thingie's SORN is out of date too. Fortunately, I can drop in at the local orofice. I'm passing it on Friday - but my train departs at 08.45 innit. Fat chance they'll be open before breakfast. -- Rusty |
