If the vehicle was not licenced when the Statute bringing in the Statutory Off Road Notice was given royal ascent, (sometime in 1998 from memory) then the vehicle gained exemption from being SORNED until the next time it is licenced.
I have a number of such vehicles including a steam roller and a chummy which are both unlicenced and not on SORN.
The chummy was a recent purchase and the DVLA sent me a snotty letter 'requiring' me to SORN it very soon after I had recieved my V5 following the keeper change. They got an equally snotty letter back pointing out their unlawful requirement. which I copied to the secetary of state for Transport (to whom the law actually requires you to notify a SORN - the DVLA are simply his agent)
It remains unlicenced and not on SORN
