Statutory Off-Road Notification, or SORN, is a declaration made to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in the United Kingdom, indicating that a vehicle will not be used or parked on a public road. SORN is typically used for vehicles that are being stored, undergoing repairs, or awaiting disposal. It is a legal requirement to declare a vehicle SORN if it is not being used on the road, and failure to do so can result in fines or penalties.
There are several ways to check if a car is SORN. The most convenient method is to use the DVLA’s online vehicle enquiry service. This service allows you to check the status of any vehicle registered in the UK, including whether it is SORN. You will need the vehicle registration number to use this service.
