Hi,
My husband has kept his first work van and it was stored in Nissan Garage for last 3 years. Completely off the road. However, he has not declared it SORNed , has not taxed it or insured it.
If he wants to keep the vehicle registration, we have to declare it SORN. Do we have to pay the road tax since 2017 despite the fact it was kept off the road and stored away in Nissan Garage? We could ask for a proof from the garage about the time period it has been there for.
Thank you
Kat

This is a forum advising on private parking issues. I suggest it might be more helpful to you if you post your question on the general 'Motoring' forum here on MSE.There's a drop down box at the top r/h side of this page where you'll find all the various forums listed.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

There is a continuous insurance requirement as well that can only be lifted by declaring it SORN
Utterly stupid not to use the free SORN process.
Once they discover this - and they will - you will have 3 years of failing to tax, plus fines, plus failing to insure on top.1
