Assets - Should I include this?

I've been going through the form and I have a car which is worth less than £1000 (an essential), I also have a motorbike which is in bits in the garage. The engine doesn't run and it's worth less than £200. (It's currently SORN and I've never had it on the road since owning it).

Should I declare that on the form?

    When the OR checks with DVLA they will see it's registered to you, better to declare and tell them it's in pieces than for the OR to find out and think you're hiding an asset.

    Thanks for that, I wondered if they'd check the DVLA.

    remember they can check if you have ever owned a vehicle not just if you currently own it
