However, for MoT, VED and SORN, the applicable act is the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 - not the RTA.

For these, VERA has a specific definition of a public road within the Act as "a road maintained at public expense". So for SORN, you merely have to demonstrate to DVLA/Magistrates that the road is not maintained at public expense

And how would you do that?

What I'd like to see police/local authorities do is deal with important issues and not these sorts of victimless crimes when society is riddled with problems.

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

I would suggest a letter from the Highway Authority (usually County Council) stating that the road is not within their ambit.
