How long does SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) last?

  1. 6 months

  2. 9 months

  3. 12 months

  4. Indefinitely

The correct answer is: 12 months

The correct response is that SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) lasts for 12 months. SORN is a declaration made by a vehicle owner to inform the DVLA that the vehicle is not being used on public roads and is therefore exempt from paying vehicle tax. This declaration is valid for a year, after which it must be renewed if the vehicle remains off the road. This duration of 12 months is established to provide vehicle owners with a clear timeframe for their off-road status, ensuring they are compliant without having to file frequent notifications. Remember to renew SORN if necessary, as failing to do so may lead to penalties and the obligation to pay taxes on the vehicle. Other mentioned durations, such as 6 months, 9 months, or indefinitely, do not apply to SORN. A 6-month or 9-month period doesn’t align with the standard regulatory framework, and the concept of an indefinite status contradicts the requirement for regular compliance updates to the DVLA.
