As i want to leave my astra thru the winter for a few months and dont want to tax it, do i have to declare it as sorn, i was under the impression that because of its age i dont have to declare!, can anyone shed any light? :?:

yes you have to sorn it.

it doesn't matter on the cars age if you have to decalre it sorn, any car has to be declared sorn.

Who is it that monitors/comtrols or issues fines in the UK for vehicles that are declared sorn'd and driven on the road?

And unlike a TV licence where you stand a chance of getting away with it, this system is lethal, effective and you will be fined £100 :shock:

Just Sorned the mk1 on the dvla website, easy, job done, it says you have to renew the sorn every 12 mnths.
Just parking the mk1 up for a couple of mnths thru the winter.

naturally you cant decalre it sorn and leave on the road.. make sure its on private land or else it will be liable for crushing or seizing.. and you a fine...

neighbours have a tendancy to grass for no tax. Mine tried to grass on me. lol car was on a private unadopted road.

yep thats right! once its sornd thats it! you get no more reminders from them to get tax or sorn it again! you dont have to sorn every year like.. but to re-tax the car you have to pick up a form V11???? or something like that at the post office.

Nope.

You need to SORN it every year and you should get reminders.
