Abandoned vehicles

Vehicles we will investigate

We will only investigate an abandoned vehicle if it:

• is burnt out
• has substantial damage and is not roadworthy
• is full of waste
• is not resting directly on the ground (e.g. it is on bricks or axel stands)

Report an abandoned vehicle

Vehicles we will not investigate

• If a vehicle is on private land if the landowner objects
• If a vehicle is taxed and not causing an obstruction
• If a caravan is lit at night, facing the direction of traffic and not causing an obstruction 
• If a vehicle is untaxed - please report this to the DVLA.
