SORN or not to SORN

[WR Blue]

Not been on here for a little while, anyway had the tax reminder through the post and I'm actually considering SORN'ing the F for the first time (to save £230) as its not been out in the last month and I don't have any planned use for it coming up.
What happens about Innsurance as this is due in January? Do I have to renew it then or wait to I put the car back on the road?

I sorn or tax mine on a month by month basis basis now and they stay insured. However if the mot runs out you won't be able to tax again. Why not get mot then sorn until you want to use it?

That's a good idea, MOT is in May so if I Tax the car from April 1st problem sorted.
