No Insurance, No, Tax, No MOT.

[ashleyman]

There's 2 cars parked on my road.

Neither have insurance. One has Tax, No MOT. The other has MOT but no Tax.

Can I get them towed away? Who do I report it too? SW London, so would be MET area.

If you google reporting untaxed/uninsured cars, there will be a gov.uk result that will give you a link.

Saw that. Is there something similar for cars without MOT?

It would be quite nice if the man who's left his car without tax and insurance on the road got a knock on the door as this is the 3rd time he has just dumped a car when he got a new one.

I presume you used to askMID own vehicle insurance check? Even if it says they do not have insurance, they may still do as they may be under a trader policy or similar.

No offence of parking a car on the road without MOT. Only an offence to drive without MOT.

With regards to tax, you can report this online to DVLA if you wish at https://forms.dft.gov.uk/report-an-untaxed-vehicle...

The cars are in marked parking bays that don't have any restrictions on a public road. Yes, I naughtily used AskMID to check.

Car 1 has tax until November 2017 but MOT expired in March.
Car 2's tax expired on 1 July 2017 and MOT until 10 December 2017.

Both have been parked up for a few months.

Are they public marked bays or private?

Public. It's all on the public road. I reported the one without tax.

Are they causing you a problem? If not, I'd probably mind my own business tbh.

Yes, they are causing me a problem.

I used to work for Leeds city council and often dealt with issues of cars with no tax. if a car has been abandoned with no tax and it has expired by over a month. the local council can have the car removed. Give the local council a call and report as abandoned and they should sort it. was easier when we had physical tax discs to check but its easy enough to do on the dvla website.

Phoned the council, they said they would be happy to tow it but need to give it a little bit longer until it's 1 month 1 day past expired.
