Why? 4164 and 4165 are (or strictly speaking, were) DLPs, so this thread seems appropriate.

For the Wythenshawe thread I guess but I agree it's entirely appropriate but repetitive reading DLP/VLW's are still going

A number of the DLPs became SORN after their road tax ran out on 31/12/17. These were 4165, 4170, 4172, 4175, 4176, 4177, 4178, 4179 and 4180.
4166, 4169, 4173 and 4174 were all re-taxed [to 31/12/2018].
This just leaves twelve of the batch that are still taxed – 4161, 4162, 4163, 4164, 4166, 4169, 4173, 4174, 4181, 4182, 4183, 4184. The remaining thirteen are all SORN.
Of the VLW front there was no end of year changes, which leaves the following twelve taxed: 4200, 4202, 4204, 4208, 4209, 4210, 4211, 4212, 4213, 4214, 4215 and 4216. However, the tax on nine vehicles [4208-4216] runs out on 31/1/18 (+DLPs 4162 and 4181), so it is possible that some of these will also become SORN then.
Of course being taxed does not mean a vehicle is capable of being put out on the road, but if it is SORN then it definitely won’t be.

4164 has been VOR at Bolton for a while now after picking up a fault so this might also be finished

The scrapman could come calling if they are SORN???
RE: Arriva North West DLPs & VLWs - T42 PVM - 03/01/2018 12:49
From the list of SORNs above i think 4175 has already been scrapped

Not quite - 4168 and 4175 were both scrapped last year

One VLW (4207) was declared SORN last month

What DLPs are still taxed I’m guessing a few are still in service
