Hi guys,
Got a new motor on 9th March. MOT ran out on the 5th on the old one and insurance got moved to the new car on the 9th.
I was intending to get it scrapped straight away but hadn't got round to it so have just declared the car SORN until I sort out where to scrap it.
Obviously this means the old car didn't have insurance or an MOT for a week. Do DVLA give you some grace period for their automatic fines? Obviously noone has driven the car.
Thanks

For a week between the expiry of the insurance and the cancellation of tax/declaration of SORN, I doubt you'll have a problem.
Hopefully will be ok. I did read they send out a reminder before they fine you anyway.
