If a car’s tax expires without renewal, a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) is automatically applied, making it illegal to drive on public roads except for pre-arranged MOT or testing appointments.
Driving a SORN-registered vehicle otherwise can lead to fines up to £2,500 or five times the unpaid tax.
