I dont understand your difficulty in understanding the question.

If a car is tax and insured and gets a pg9 for say a bald tyre and and a blowing exhaust. Are they grounds for seizure? I have been given no other paper work other than the prohibition notice and have no pending prosecutions on the matter. But when reading the pg9 the next day there was no mention of anything related to the seizure of the car or the reason for it.

blues and twos, pulled over.

after breath test, insurance check etc decided to check the car. found the tyre was below legal limits. started writing me up for that when two other coppers turned up. One of them was a traffic officer and offered to give the car a once over.

They found the exhaust system was blowing.
The tyre was low
and the battery wasnt clamped down

and revoked the mot and seized the car.

All work has been done and the car has a fresh mot (Took less than an hour).

Not getting done for the tyre as the copper said it was getting expensive enough with the £150 recovery i had to pay to get it back.

Im just at a loss to why the car was seized. The tyre was worn but the spare was in the boot. I could have changed it at the road side.

Just really strange
