The responsibility for removing an abandoned, untaxed, or uninsured vehicle is shared between your local council and the DVLA, depending on the specific circumstances of the vehicle. The specific body responsible for action depends on the exact issue:* Abandoned Vehicles: Local councils (such as the London Borough of Hounslow) have a legal duty to investigate and remove vehicles that are genuinely abandoned on public roads and land.* * Untaxed Vehicles: The DVLA holds the primary responsibility for enforcing untaxed vehicles. You can check a vehicle's tax status using the GOV.UK Check Vehicle Tax service.* * Uninsured Vehicles: The police are responsible for uninsured vehicles. If a vehicle is being driven or kept on a public road without insurance, the police have the power to seize it immediately.

For Abandoned Cars: Use the GOV.UK Report an Abandoned Vehicle tool, which will route your report directly to the correct local authority based on the vehicle's location.2. 3.
