You shouldn't need to re-sorn it no! But I would check it online with your doc reference number once you bought it, just to be sure

Technically, yes.

In practice, no, you've got at least a month's grace.

SORN is removed when changing owner I believe.

Does it? I checked with a bike I bought last year once my V5 came through and it said it was Sorn'd for a full year. I'm a bit worried now

Sorry to hijack the thread, but you've got me worried now

This is the status for a bike I bought in July last year:
Date of Liability 01 09 2012
Vehicle Status SORN Not Due

That means SORN is due on 1st Sept this year, doesn't it?

[Moo.]

Im sure there was a new ruling coming saying that once a vehicle was sorned, you didnt need to renew it. It would be sorned until you taxed it again.. But im not sure when that was coming into force.

No dates, but press release here https://www.dft.gov.uk/news/press-releases/dft-press-20111215

Think sorn is only valid at the address you sorned it at.So you will need to resorn at your address......

[MarkJ]

Yeah. I just did it anyway for piece of mind.

One of the steps said "The SORN is not due until September, are you sure you want to continue?"

So looks like new owners don't need to renew. I'd check anyway though, in case I've just been lucky.

Phone DVLC and ask them.

Just follow whatever they say and your covered.

OP, is this the same bike that you/your dad may, or may not, have paid for, which you're intending to sell by the end of this week, so you can pay the original seller?

If so, you don't really need to worry about SORN, unless the original seller has got the wrong end of the stick and applied for a new V5 in your name, thinking that you'd bought it to keep it, not tonce it up and sell it on the next week.
