SORN

abbreviationStandard termAutomotive

The Statutory Off Road Notification used in the UK to declare a vehicle is not being driven.

A formal declaration made to the driver and vehicle licensing authority stating that a vehicle is taken off public roads and kept on private property. Filing this notification exempts the owner from paying vehicle tax and carrying mandatory insurance while the car sits idle or undergoes restoration.

Heard on the job

I had to file a SORN for the project car since it's going to be sitting in the garage for another six months.
