Report a vehicle without tax or a MOT

Every vehicle registered in the United Kingdom must be taxed and have a valid MOT if you intend to use it or keep it on a public road.

If the vehicle is not taxed, you must apply for a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) from the DVLA. If you wish to use the vehicle on the road again, you must tax it first.

How do I report an untaxed vehicle?

If you believe a vehicle has no raod tax and has not been declared as SORN, you must report it to the DVLA.
