Abandoned Vehicles - DVLA Removal Timescale

[AMG01]

Not sure if this is the correct section, but how long after reporting vehicles that are untaxed and don't have a MOT can you expect for them to be removed? The 3 cars in question have been untaxed and no MOT since the beginning of 2014 and have been lying for at least a year. I reported them to the DVLA over the summer and they are still in place? Have reported them to the Council but they say its a DVLA matter.

Thanks for all the feedback contacted Glasgow City Council back in July and they responded,'On completing a site inspection the vehicle was found to be secure, and in fair condition and does not meet our legislative criteria for abandoned vehicles. However as vehicle is untaxed I have passed on the vehicle details to the contractor for Dvla to enable them to clamp and remove vehicle.' I also then reported them to the DVLA and no progress, kinda stuck where to take it. Vehicles have all been lying for at least a year.

Having emailed Glasgow City Council detailing the abandoned cars, a letter appeared on all three cars from Glasgow City Council on the 19th November giving the owners 24hrs to remove them. They didn't and all three were removed yesterday morning by the Council, rather sadly, I am delighted.
