Reporting abandoned cars

If you think that a car that has been parked outside your house may be abandoned or stolen you can check if it has valid Road Tax or MOT certificate at the following website :-
 https://www.gov.uk/report-untaxed-vehicle. The information on the website is shown below.

You can report an untaxed vehicle that you’ve seen on a public road anonymously to DVLA. Your report will be investigated.

Tax discs are no longer needed - the vehicle tax could be up to date even if it doesn’t have a tax disc.

Follow these steps to report a vehicle as untaxed:

1. Check if a vehicle is taxed before you report it - this is a free service. You don’t have to report the vehicle to DVLA if it’s taxed but not showing the tax disc. Only report a vehicle that’s either untaxed or registered asSORN and parked on a public road.
2. You need to include the vehicle registration number, make, model and colour of the vehicle and the street name, town and postcode where the vehicle is parked. You won’t be able to report the vehicle without these details.
3. You can report the vehicle online if it’s untaxed and you have all the details needed to report it. 

You can also use the Report It link on the Bromley website but it will be quicker to follow the three steps above.

A car showing as taxed and having an MOT may have been stolen and abandoned. You can check if it has been reported stolen by using the Taken without Consent (TWOC) website at:-

If it is stolen you MUST inform the POLICE of all stolen vehicles FIRST by dialing 121, the TWOC website cannot do this.
