    Yes, SORN lasts until you tax it, or transfer ownership.
    Presumably, it was costing "them" more to post a yearly reminder, and then a confirmation letter to every SORN'd vehicle than "they" made from fining the few hundred people who forgot.

    Just double check on https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax that it is actually SORN'd.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    Since the tax discs were done away with, I have never had a reminder to SORN the car, so under the present system is it SORN'ed until you tax/MOT or sell it on?
    SORNs stopped expiring after a year, back in December 2013, a year before the paper tax disc stopped being issued.
