I have a car in the back garden I need to sort this year; anyway, thats not the issue here. I did a quick check on the DVLA site and found its Date of Liability is in 2007 and it is marked as unlicensed. This is a bit wierd as we have the V5 for it and I took it for an MOT in 2011 (it failed...). Anyway, question is, how much carp are the DVLA going to throw at us for trying to relicense this car?

None. You just need to declare that it hasn't been used on the road since it was last taxed.

Ive got one that ive had off the road for 5 years that was sorned when i bought it but ive never re-sorned it. They`ve never sent me a letter or fine ect so i just havent bothered doing it.
I'm not sure if they`ll try to back date the tax,or just do the 80 quid fine thing for no sorn.I'm not keen to find out til i have to neither.

It might not be the propagandist's answer, but it is the pragmatic answer. It is what will happen. You tax it online and require to declare that it hasn't been used on the road you then have to accept that you MAY be liable for all sorts of penalties, none of which will ever happen. |

So pragmatist, here is a real world occurance Friend's mini goes off the road, doesn't sorn it. Keeps it a year or so then scraps it, still hasn't sent the log book off. He received a nice fine from DVLA a few weeks ago for back tax. But hey, that's just propaganda! |

But hey, that's just propaganda! Maybe this isn't the right place to get into it but there's a school of thought that says that DVLA don't have the right to issue fines so they're not enforceable and they're really just sending you an invoice they hope you'll pay. Maybe my circle of friends just isn't wide enough but I've never heard of anyone FORCED to pay a DVLA fine, though I have heard of people who get twitchy at the meaningless letters and then AGREE to pay but I've never heard of the courts becoming involved. |

I sold a car to a mate and his girlfriend came to pick it up.So being good mates i filled the v5 in and left it with her for him to fill in and send off.Never gave it another thought til i got the tax reminder 11 months later so asked him if he`d sent the v5 off.He said he didnt know but would sort it.
Turns out said g/f hadnt given him it so had being in my name all that time.She found it and sent it off with the original date of sale off.
Fortnight later i get a court summons for failure to notify a change of keeper.No offer of a fine ect just straight to court.
£110 fine with £45 costs. Thats about 5 years ago and i think now id fight it more with info off the internetz but at the time with it going to court felt i had to pay it.

That's fine. Unlisenced means they are unsure. As long as the V5 is the latest V5C then there is no problems. If you have any problems speak to Mike Worthington-Williams worthycomments@btconnect.com He's a top bloke and will sort any V5 related problems direct with the DVLA. |

Seeing as you have owned the car since 2007, they may have no "hard" reference to whether the car is taxed or not. I have a few log books still in my name from 10+ years ago of cars that have been cut up. Never received anything. As far as the fines go, my brother decided not to pay his "no tax" fine and got a court summons. He went to court and said he couldn't afford to pay it (no job). Judge said pay instalments or go to prison now. Think if you intend on putting it back on the road I would bite the bullet and declare it sorn on online.
