You can report a vehicle you believe to have been abandoned.
The vehicle has likely been abandoned if it:
- has been stationary for a significant amount of time (at least two months)
- is significantly damaged, run down or unroadworthy
- is burned out
- is missing one or both of its registration plates
- has dirt built up around it
If the vehicle does not meet at least one of these criteria, it may simply be parked badly. If this is the case, you should instead report a parking contravention.
When you report
We need to know the vehicle's:
- registration number
- make, model and colour
- exact location and length of time there
- condition
How to report
How you report depends on where the vehicle is. It may be:
- on a council-controlled road
- on a road controlled by Transport for London (TfL), which are:
- A4 Great West Road
- A30
- A205
- parts of the A312
- parts of the A316
