Abandoned vehicles

Report an abandoned vehicle on a public road or private land. If the vehicle is on private land, you must have the landowner's permission before reporting it.

Before you start

To report an abandoned vehicle, you will need to tell us:

  • the type of vehicle
  • the make and model
  • the registration number
  • the colour of the vehicle
  • where it is
  • how long it has been there

We will ask you for your contact details, provide them if you would like us to contact you about your report.

If you are unable to use our online form, you can call 03451 55 00 22.

What happens next

We will investigate the report. If we find the vehicle has been abandoned, we will place a notice on it. If it is not moved before the notice expires, we will move it.

    Has your vehicle been stickered?
