I put in one of my "dead" cars, and it comes back with all the details that are available.

So no, it may be long gone, just not removed from the records.

dunx

Vehicle status : licence not due
Date of Liability : 01 04 2010

This means it is currently taxed untill end of march 2010, so its almost certainly still on the road somewhere.

If under vehicle status it says Sorn not due, it is declared sorn till the liability date, or if it says Unlicenced, it has neither tax nor sorn - this is usually applicable to vehicles that went off the roads before sorn was introduced.

What is the link for checking the above?

yes -- correct it is still taxed

the link is
