if it has got tax and couple months left and u want to sorn it u can get up to 5 or 11 months back of ur money back for sending the tax disc back to dvla ! filling out a forum

you don't need to do anything with insurance e.g Sorn aslong as if u haven't got any insurance don't drive it on the main roads!

When SORN is needed

SORN applies to all tax classes including those where no duty is payable, such as historic and disabled tax classes.
You must make a SORN if one of the following applies:

• if you don’t renew your vehicle tax and you are keeping the vehicle off the road
• if you are applying for a refund of vehicle tax and keeping the vehicle off the road
• if you buy an untaxed vehicle and do not tax it
• if the vehicle has no valid insurance in place
• if you are cancelling the insurance and keeping the vehicle off the road
• every 12 months if you continue to keep your vehicle off the road
• in advance if your vehicle is to be kept off the road in the UK when you are abroad

You can make a SORN from the fifth day of the month in which the current tax disc or SORN is due to expire. SORN cannot be backdated.
Your SORN is valid for 12 months, unless you tax, sell, permanently export or scrap (via an authorised treatment facility) the vehicle before this period has ended. You should be sent a V11 reminder to let you know that your SORN is about to expire, which you can then use to renew your SORN or re-tax your vehicle.
