Works well and it's handy if you've forgotten when your MOT is due, but they need to make it idiot proof.

Got a snotty letter from DVLA the other day, telling me I was facing all sorts of deprivation because my bike wasn't on MID.

Trouble is, it's been continuously insured (with the same company) throughout my ownership, it's been taxed online and I was looking at it's MID details, while I was talking to surly tw*t from Swansea Rolling Eyes

Excellent spot, cheers chap! Thumbs Up

Aw, whaaaaa? The VED on the GS and Enfield both expire at the end of June, that's a double whammy.

Screw you, chap! Mad

I am wondering if by showing this information they are looking at doing away with tax/sorn reminders in the post?

The reminder does give you a reference number to tax/sorn so wonder how that'd work? Maybe you'll just have to have the V5 number to hand?

However, I did notice for one of my bikes on SORN that there is no renewal date shown for SORN.

So does that mean they've (finally) introduced continuous sorn without the annual renewal (as iirc one of the promises made by this governement) ?

I believe that it was introduced de facto in 2012. My Lifan was still on SORN in 2013 after more than a year without a reminder.

Something occurs: why not show us the "write off" markers that the insurance cartel has put against our vehicles (or ones that we may be thinking of buying)? As has just come up, MOT monkeys get to see them, so the DVSA already has that information.
