The problem with askMID is that it doesn't confirm whether you have a SORN in place - Just that there is not insurance. You then have to got to
www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax to confirm if there is a SORN. Would be easier if it was all in the same place.
Also, I've just checked and one of mine is SORN'd with an expiry of May 2015... Since when did a SORN need renewing? Last I heard it was SORN'd until you taxed it again?
