Abandoned vehicle

An abandoned vehicle is one that nobody wants or is willing to claim ownership of. These guidelines will help identify whether a vehicle is abandoned.

• run down or unroadworthy with flat tyres or missing wheels 
• litter in or around the car suggesting it hasn't been moved for a significant amount of time 
• significantly damaged with broken windscreen or windows 
• missing number plates
• missing parts e.g. bumper, seats, radio
• graffiti on the vehicle

A nuisance vehicle could be any of the following:

• poorly parked
• causing an obstruction
• involved in residential parking dispute
• untaxed
• broken down

We will only investigate an abandoned vehicle report and take action where necessary. A vehicle will not be treated as abandoned until it has been confirmed that there is no registered owner.
