With the cost of car insurance steadily on the rise, many people are looking to ways to cut back on their premiums. One way to do this is to sorn your car. What is sornning, you ask? Simply put, it’s a process of declaring your car unfit for use. By doing this, you’re informing your insurer that you no longer need to carry full coverage on the vehicle and can instead save money on your premiums. In this article, we will outline the benefits of sornning your car and explain how to go about doing it.
What is a Sorn?
A Sorn is a vehicle that is registered but not used for the required period of time. When a vehicle is registered but not used, it becomes subject to secondary law enforcement and can be towed away at the owner’s expense. If you are driving a car that is subject to a Sorn, be sure to keep track of the expiration date of your registration and make sure you have used the car in accordance with the requirements of your jurisdiction.
If you’re an owner of a car that is registered but not used, it’s important to take steps to protect yourself and your car. Here are four tips for keeping your car safe and your insurance rates low:
- Keep Your Vehicle Title Current
If you need to use your car but don’t have title or registration, always carry proof of ownership in case of an accident. This could include a driver’s license, registration, or proof of purchase. - Use Your Car Only as Necessary
Don’t drive your Sorn car just for fun – only use it when necessary. This will help keep your car clean and free from scratches and dents, which could lead to higher rates if your car is damaged in an accident.
What is the Procedure for Sorn?
If you are the registered keeper of a car in the United Kingdom and you stop using it, you may have to inform your insurer that the car is SORN. This will mean that the car is no longer insured, and if it is involved in an accident, you may be liable for any damage. How do I inform my insurer that my car is SORN?
The easiest way to do this is to fill in a SORN Off road notification form and send it to your insurer. You can find a copy of the form on the DVLA website (www.dvla.gov.uk). You should also keep a copy of the notification form for yourself. If you ever need to produce it in court, or if your insurer asks for proof that your car is SORN, you will be able to show them the form.
If you own a car which is not registered with the DVLA but which you use for private purposes, you should still notify your insurer as soon as possible if you stop using the car. This is because private cars are often covered by insurance policies which include cover for ‘loss of use’.

What are the Results of a Sorn?
When your car is suffering from a Sorn, it means that it is not roadworthy and cannot be driven. This can lead to difficulties with insurance and other related issues. Here are the results of a Sorn:
-If you have a Sorn declaration on your licence, you will need to take your car to a specialist garage for inspection. This can cost around £200.
-If you don’t have a Sorn declaration on your licence, the police may still stop and ask to see your car if they believe it to be unsafe. This could lead to a fine and/or an insurance surcharge.
-If your car is declared as being in a Sorn condition, you will need to take appropriate action to bring it back into roadworthy condition. This could involve fixing any faults, getting new parts or hiring a specialist.
How to Save Money on Car Insurance with a Sorn
One of the best ways to save on car insurance is by filing a “sorn” claim. A “sorn” claim is when your car is declared as a total loss, but you’re still driving it. This can save you money on your policy because your car isn’t listed as a liability on your policy.
To file a “sorn” claim, you first have to contact your insurance company and let them know that your car has been declared a total loss. You’ll need to provide them with proof of the damage, such as an estimate from the mechanic. Once they’ve confirmed the damage, your insurance company will then declare your car a “sorn.”
If you’re involved in an accident while driving a sorn vehicle, the other driver’s insurance company will likely declare your car a total loss and add it to their liability list. This means that you’ll likely have to pay more in auto insurance premiums than if you had just registered your car as a “sorn.” However, it’s important to keep in mind that not every state requires drivers to register their cars as “sorns,” so be sure to check with your state’s department
How does Sorn work?
Sorn is a system where when you declare your car as being Sorn, your insurance company will be notified and they will be able to give you a reduced rate for cover. This is especially useful if you have a low value policy or if you have been involved in an accident that isn’t your fault. You need to notify your insurer of the Sorn status as soon as possible after making the declaration.
How to apply for Sorn on your vehicle
If you’re one of the many drivers who have had your car confiscated by the police, then you may be wondering how to apply for Sorn. In this article, we will outline the steps you need to take in order to obtain this status on your vehicle.
Firstly, you will need to contact your local police station and ask for a confiscation form. You will need to complete and return this form along with proof of ownership (a document that proves you are the legal owner of the vehicle).
Once you have completed these steps, your car will be subject to a MOT and an inspection. If all is in order, Sorn status will be granted and you will no longer have to pay traffic fines or insurance premiums.
