Why?

If you take a vehicle off the road and stop taxing and insuring it, you must tell the DVLA by making a SORN, a Statutory Off Road Notification. The vehicle must then be kept off public roads, for example on a drive or in a garage. Vehicle tax is listed among the documents in Annex 3 of The Highway Code.
