I sold my car to a trader.

It appears on the DVLA website as 'unlicensed' now.

Presumably therefore dealers can have cars that are neither taxed or SORNed. Perhaps that is what has happened here.

Sorn only if they are valid for tax..ie just run out and due for a renewal, not off the road for ages

you have to renew a sorn every year or when you transfer a vehicle to a new owner

"Are they exempt from the same rules as the rest of us" - Yes.
google "Ian Tomlinson" or "Charles de Menezes"

I knew a mate that knew the dvla were calling about his car so he took the wheels off it (it was parked off road), they wouldnt take it away because they said it was unroadworthy. weird..

you are responsible for taxing or sorning a vehicle as long as the log book is registered to you with the option of scrapping it

"maybe you should go and ask him? he may fill you in on the whole story "
he may also see you as a potential easy target to count towards his arrest targets. Especially since he/she has access to the DVLA system, and therefore knows that you've grassed him/her up.
