damo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 You buy a tax disc. That in effect declares it back on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 When you make SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) you claim a refund of Tax. When you want to put the car back on the road, you just go and tax it again: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/UntaxedVehicle/DG_4022058 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Why would you buy a car that you can't drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_t Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 so what happens if you declare a car SORN and the MOT runs out whilst is it off road ? You cant get a tax disc without a current MOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 so what happens if you declare a car SORN and the MOT runs out whilst is it off road ? You cant get a tax disc without a current MOT. I think you're allowed to go to the MOT station for a pre-booked test without a tax disc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyM Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 If you buy a car with tax, declare it off road and save yourself some money until you pass your test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upinwath Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 It would be best to hang on until after you pass. Anything else is just a headache. That includes the insurance you will still need to have to protect your investment in the case of vandalism, fire, theft or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
