Birmingham CAZ — Sold Vehicle / SORN

Where a vehicle was sold before the contravention date (DVLA V5C/2 retained) or the keeper had filed a SORN, the previous keeper is not liable for CAZ PCNs.

Legal basis

Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994; Transport Act 2000

How to identify this in your case

Keeper has DVLA V5C/2 disposal slip dated before contravention; or SORN reference predating contravention.
