do's and donts of SORN
know someone thats had a 'slap 'in the back of his motor.. he's got it on SORN at moment due to insurance paying him out as its a 'rare' ??? motor .. its a golf on a 'T' plate ffs?!?!? thing is,.. my lad wouldnt mind buying it as a project.any ideas how you go about this? is it just a case of informing DVLC of buying the car *sorn's are non transferable, i know* and taxing it.. damage seems to be limited to tailgate, rear 'flitch'?? panel and the bumper is bent to buggery .so it seems to be a 'do-er upper' rather than a major smash.
TIA
John

The SORN is on the car, it lasts 12 months and is transferable (as its on the car not the person).
Buy the car, go though the usual info with DVLA, either re SORN it or find out when the SORN ends.
Have a read of www.dvla.gov.uk for more info on the subject

has the insurance writen it off if so then you have to go down certain lines to get it back in the road i think you have to have it check over by vosa to say it road worthie again and then you may have problems insuring it
ps sorry about the spelling

think it may have been ..the lad that owns it has been paid out by the insurers so that sets me thinking that it may well have been written off altho as said its fairly minor looking stuff Just trying to arm myself with as much info as poss before letting my nipper take a loan from the Bank of dad ( which I know he'll try)by Vosa would that be a local MOT station or would it be a more thourough check?

IF the rules havnt changed in the past few years, then if its a cat D write-off(cosmetic but beyond economical repair) then its just a case of re registering it through through the DVLA,insure it and away you go!!!-just like buying a straight car.Ive done this with a car and a motorbike before.
Not sure if its the same for a cat C write-off though.
