Taxing a SORNed vehicle

[anonymous-user]

Vehicle has been SORNED for a few years. When I do a DVLA vehicle enquiry with my reg/make and v5 reference number I get back all the correct info, including that it is currently MOT'd and currently SORNED. When I try and tax it with the same details I get 'Vehicle details not found'.

Anyone have a solution to this nonsense? Or do I have to take v5/mot/insurance down to the postoffice?

Cheers

I've never been able to obtain VED on line with a vehicle that is on SORN.

Post office is the answer.

Avoid end and beginning of the month and pension day as the Q stinks of wee

I do it successfully every year.

What's the secret?

You do know the Post Office ceases to tax vehicles forever at the end of this month, don't you?

Good to see they have got their online systems working in plenty of time!

Insurance. MOT. Doc Ref from V5C. Debit card. Bingo. Never failed yet.

No, they aren't. You'll still be able to tax over a PO counter...
