Can this be done?

My insurance expires on the 10th of June and I will not be re-insuring the car.

This means I don't really want to tax it until I come to sell it. Can I declare it SORN and the insurance remain valid? (Tax expires 31st of May)

Thanks.

Yep.

However, you can't tax it without a valid insurance certificate, so its preferable to:

a. Tax it before the insurance runs out - people are more attracted to cars with Tax.

b. Knock the price of the tax off the selling price.

Right ok, I'll just tax it tomorrow then and use these next two weeks to tart it up.

Would it show up on the logbook as being sorn at some stage?

Im learning my theory at the moment and if it helps a "SORN" will only last for 12 months
