selling a car that has a SORN

[Thunderchild]

My car failed the MOT 2 weeks before the actual end of MOT year so i started hunting for a car and put my "old" car on SORN. I'm hoping to sell my old car to a scrap merchant or anyone wanting it for parts. so say in two days time i sell it and bearing in mind that it is officialy no longer road worthy what exactly do I have to do ?

contact the DVLA and tell them

If you sell it to a scrap merchant, you fill in and sign the yellow section of the V5C (sale to a motor trader), get them to sign it, and post it off yourself to DVLA (to make sure it is done). Give the rest of the V5C to the new keeper.

If you sell it to someone who isn't a motor trader, you complete and sign section 6 of the logbook, get the new keeper to sign it, and send to DVLA. Give the green slip to the new keeper and bin the other slips (yellow and purple)

You don't have to notify anyone that the vehicle is no longer roadworthy, and you musn't mark the vehicle as scrapped on the logbook as it won't be you who scraps it.

ok thanks that sounds pretty simple basically I sell or scrap it as usual and the new keeper will be responsable for renewing the sorn or taking it as he/she wishes
