Quick question: does declaring SORN invalidate an MOT? I've googled and seen a lot of conflicting answers, but the old man has recently MOT'd his car and just been told his condition is now too bad to drive. Clearly insurance and road tax will be stopped, but I don't know if this will impact his valid MOT.
Thanks for any help - quite an upsetting time

No. The MOT continues to be valid until its expiry date.
And yes, you can drive a SORNed vehicle to an MOT test as long as the test is booked in advance and the vehicle is insured for use on the road.
And no, not having tax or MOT doesn't invalidate your insurance - unless the policy documents say so.

Nope. MOT is valid regardless.
Is this a long lay-off? Worth selling the motor and buying again if/ when he gets permission again. My grandad did exactly this, used getting his license back as an excuse to treat himself to a nice new toy.
He's been switched to palliative care so it will be for good sadly. Heartbroken that his wheels have gone but clearly for the best. Good idea otherwise though, thanks. Is this a long lay-off?
