Just wondered if maybe the landowner or someone had reported it to the council/police as abandoned.

If I owned a car park (especially so in London) and had random engineless cars left there I would try to get them removed.

But his fines from the dvla so it's who maintains the land rather than permission that's relevant.

Do you have the landowners permission to leave your car there long term?

I do, but I don't think this has something to do with the situation. I do have also valid permit displayed from a private company that maintains that car park.
There is a guy, he lives next-door and he's a mechanic, he has about 3-4 SORN'd vehicles in that car park and nobody cares.

I'd agree with Andy...

So what's this all about, some glitch in their system...? I do not understand how is that possible that there's totally different address in the letter. In fact, provided address is a public road, maintained by council. My car was never near it since declared as SORN though. How should I proceed? Should I write them back, or wait for court hearing? I'm totally frustrated about this!

Quite so, but that has nothing to do with the OP’s situation.

Indeed, I was just trying to get a bit of extra context, but if the landowner/manager reported it to some authority then it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it was passed to the DVLA as an untaxed vehicle and an overzealous agent of theirs made a mistake about the status of the land.

They are a government agency after all, one especially known for facilitating sharp practice from private companies.
