Looks like FPA 825B failed the last MOT on 9 May 2017 due to several corrosion issues, among other things. As it wasn't retested there's no way to tell if the repairs were carried out to get it back on the road. Of course it's MOT exempt, so it could well have been repaired before being sold again. Personally I think the DVLA site should show you the date when SORN was initially declared, because it would make things much clearer. As it stands it could have been SORN for 1 week or 4 years, who knows :-?

If it has been SORN since failing the last MOT in 2017, then maybe the latest owner has bought it as a lockdown project :D
