Happened to me with a car I bought off ebay last year.

Basically, you're only liable from the moment you bought the bike. Theoretically you should have sent of the SORN form immediately (you can download this from the DVLA website but I think hardly anyone knows that this is possible).

They threatened to fine me but I think in the end it came to nothing since I SORNed it as soon as they sent me the V5 through. If they try to fine you ask why you can't just pay the back tax.

If you read the blurb in the book that comes with the V5 it says you have 2 months to SORN it after purchase IIRC. A bit pee if the DVLA take 8 weeks to send you your v5!

I declared SORN on a bike 3 weeks ago after a 6 month gap and I have the sorn notification but no fine yet.

All you'll have to do is show proof of when you purchased it. You aren't responsible for the time you didn't own the bike.

I've got the booklet in my work, I'll have a gander at it next week. I deffo got the 2 month thing off either that or the directgov site and I can't find it on the latter now.
