SORN again crushed one
I have owned my car over twenty years. I made it SORN in 2008 when the MoT ran out and after it was 'hot wired' and had the lock and dashboard damaged. I didn't know whether it was worth the expense of having it repaired, although it has always sailed through the MoT and I still love it. I have been told that as the car is SORN I do not need an MoT or insurance to avail myself of the scrappage scheme. Is this correct and, if so, how do I get it to the garage or will they collect it?

No. The car has to have a current MoT, or one that has not expired more than 14 days before the deal.

I have a Q registration kit car which was last taxed and insured in 1990. Since then the vehicle has been in my garage. I have never declared SORN for the vehicle since at the time there was no requirement...
Can I transfer the private reg from a car I put into storage (SORN) five years ago? It had an MoT when put into storage but hasn't had one since. The car could be recommissioned and MOTd quite quickly...
I have a car on SORN and need to use it. It has no MoT so how do I get it to a garage to be tested? Do I need to insure it?
