online tax enquirey

[Bubba]

i need help understanding this:

Date of Liability 01 03 2005
Date of First Registration 01 08 1988
Year of Manufacture 1988
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1598CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour RED

does that mean its scrapped or sorn? i thought if it was sorn it would have a more upto date...date

[bazil]

If it were worn it would say it at vehicle status, this check will NOT tell you if the vehicle is scrapped, it will only say unlicensed

[Bubba]

so....this isnt sorn then?

[pikey1986]

possibly scrapped mate

[Pistol Pete]

I'd say scrapped. Mine is SORN...when doing an enquiry this is what i get.

Date of Liability 01 01 2011
Date of First Registration 25 08 1992
Year of Manufacture 1992
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1367CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status SORN Not Due
Vehicle Colour BLUE

Unlicensed means the car is neither SORN nor Taxed. For cars which have a relatively recent date of liability, it either means the car is scrapped or the owner is getting a fat fine through the post lol

If the date of liability is around a month or less, it may just mean the DVLA system hasn't updated yet.

[edit] This is assuming the Export Marker is used to detail cars that have been exported overseas (again. these will show up as unlicensed)
