- bbbbb5 4y agoNo plates=/=untaxed. Councils do not have power to remove untaxed vehicles, DVLA would have to do it (they won't).
- ljf 4y agoFrom the link Your vehicle may also be removed if: it is considered to be abandoned it is untaxed From .gov.uk Decide if a vehicle is abandoned Authorities must decide if a vehicle is abandoned. This is likely if at least one of the following applies: it has no keeper on DVLA’s database and is untaxed - check vehicle tax online it’s stationary for a significant amount of time it’s significantly damaged, run down or unroadworthy, for example has flat tyres, missing wheels or broken windows it’s burned out a number plate is missing They can legally enter land (at a reasonable time) to investigate and remove abandoned vehicles
- bbbbb5 4y agoIt takes forever for DVLA to remove a car and they'll leave a notice first (unless it's UK registered and untaxed)
