Very very confusing SORN/tax/insurance situation

You can't tax a car if it's not insured AFAIK.

You can, as in it is possible - and has been since insurance checks were removed from the tax-buying process in 2013, both in the PO and online.

But, of course, that's because since 2011, it's been illegal to have a car that's taxed and uninsured at any time through the life of the tax. So, while you can, it's illegal, so you can't.

You can't without an MOT, you can without insurance.

Lack of insurance is covered by continuous insurance law, which makes it an offence to do so though, as you must either have the car insured, or declared SORN or both.
