Yes, if the tax has expired he can be fined. You will need to declare your car as off the road with a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification). This is free and can be done online (using the DVLA website) very easily.

you need a sorn statement if it currently doesn't have tax. easy to do online and saves a fine. If you have tax then send in the disc and get a refund on a percentage of the remaining tax. You can get fined for a vehicle on private land with no tax unless it has a sorn. Just go onto the dvla website and enter all the details.

You need to notify DVLA with a SORN notice if you don't intend taxing the car. This is mandatory and failure to do it will cost you an immediate £80 fine.You should have notified them immediately the tax run out
It is YOU who need to declare the SORN notice if the car is registered in your name as it will be you who gets the fine, not your brother..
