Abandoned vehicles

If you need to report a vehicle you suspect as being abandoned, please gather as much of the following information as possible:

• location of vehicle (as much detail as possible)
• make and model of vehicle
• colour of vehicle
• vehicle registration number
• how long it's been there
• the vehicle owners details, if known.

You can report an abandoned vehicle online or contact Customer Services.

Once a vehicle is reported, we'll visit it as soon as possible. Each vehicle is assessed individually. If the owner and/or the registered keeper of a vehicle is identified, then the vehicle has not been abandoned. 

If a notice has been attached to your vehicle you must:

• contact us immediately on 01775 761161 and state that you wish to claim the vehicle
• arrange a date and time to claim the vehicle with us, to provide your proof of ownership of the vehicle.
