Clampdown on illegal vehicles

The police are under resourced. They can barely deal with serious crimes and those involving violence. Minor motoring just isn’t a priority for them. 

Well they could do what other countries do, immediately remove problem vehicles to a compound and charge the owners a fortune to get them back.
there's some additional income there.
It really annoys me to see problem vehicles and 'police aware' vehicles sitting around for ages in this country.

I'm reading this part of the OP as the van is stored off the road, but the OP believes it has been used on it.

The van is parked at the side of the road.

I walked my dog at around midnight last night and the van was not there, but it was this morning. So perhaps the owners believe driving it when there are few police around will mean they don't get caught.

When I say its unroadworthy, it has no mirror in the drivers side, side view mirror, so it would fail an MOT.

The van has ladders on its roof, so it could be used for burglaries.

On the public road...?

Seriously?
