ripped_fear Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 So my car is going to her new owner this Saturday now, and I'm hopefully getting the new one tomorrow eve. Now the insurance will be going over to the new car, leaving the old one with no insurance. Do I need to put it on Sorn for 4 days? as that seems bloody ridiculous but according to everything I'm reading a car if off the road MUST be on sorn now. What would you do in my situation?

Mike2JZ Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 It won't matter for such a short period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sorn only applies to road tax not insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 In order to tax it, legally it must be insured (previously had to take your insurance docs, V5 & MOT IIRC). If you cancel the insurance you SHOULD sorn the car, but it definitely won't matter over 4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 is the car taxed? car does not have to be insured on a sorn. If not how long has it not been taxed for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tax on the new car, an even if it did it wouldnt come with the car anymore. Thats one is currently on sorn. My current one is taxed and insured etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Don't forget tax doesn't transfer over. So the minute your car is sold its untaxed. But the minute you get your new car and insurance is valid and database is updated, you can tax it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the refund from your curent tax just get done automatically these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nice one bud looking forward to pictures of the new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it should, but you will only be refunded for full months if you've paid in advance. If you pay via DD then you won't receive a refund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
