How long for the Police to remove untaxed car?

Conrad3000

Hello folks. Should it take more than week since it was reported because the car's still there.

And same goes for non-MOT and non-insured cars too.

Thanks.

They give 7 days for the RK to respond and its the DVSA not plod.
At least 2 weeks would be an optimistic guesstimate.

Sometimes they can be there for months. Depends on where it's parked and which agency will decide they're going to foot the bill for towing it. Given that other than it is untaxed etc it is otherwise only sitting there the same as someone who has parked their legal car there so why the urgency?

Perhaps it is sitting in the "OP's spot"?

Hi OP
Many years ago I worked for a council and when young you have many friends in different departments and to get it removed quickly, you need to assess the risk - therefore is it a risk, EG kids playing in it around it, may try to start a fire to it, on a dangerous bed, blocking in someone who is frail, attracting trouble people trying to steal items and you had to tell them off - so have a re-think about what is happening and if you've not already told them something you should have said, tell them.

Good luck

Don't try to make sense of what sweetsand says, it never makes much sense

Who has it been reported to?  Round here, the police wouldn't remove it - but the council would, eventually.

Can we safely assume the OP has reported it to the local council as if the op contacted the police they would have told the OP to contact the council.
Thanks

You can assume anything you want but don't assume everyone else agrees with your guess work.
