How does SORN work
Posted: 18/01/22 20:20
Hi,
Since recently I've 100% committed to actually starting work on my MR2 it has only dawned on me that my car inst even in my name. The story goes that I bought this car from a scrapyard and when I bought it I was given the full V5c logbook. I'm in Ireland (Its from northern Ireland and technically is a UK car) and I could put it in my dads name and address since he works over there. The car was never sorned so does that mean that I will have to pay the 6 years of tax due or do I just sorn it when I register it in my or my dads name?
To summarise
When I bought my car I was given the full V5C
The person I bought it off inst the person on the V5C. The owner on the V5 bought the car in 2010.
It was never sorn and hasnt been taxed since 2016
Thanks in advance hopefully someone knows what I should do
