Untaxed vehicles

The DVLA are responsible for dealing with untaxed vehicles.

To report a vehicle that appears to be untaxed, you will need to provide the following details.  You can make your report anonymously if you wish

  • the registration mark of the vehicle
  • location of the vehicle (eg outside 10 street, town, TW1)
  • the make, model and colour of the vehicle

Wherever possible, please provide:

  • the time the vehicle can be seen on the public road
  • name and address of the owner

Reporting an untaxed vehicle to the DVLA

The Council does work in partnership with the DVLA to report any untaxed vehicles that the Street Scene Enforcement Team come across during their inspections of suspected abandoned vehicles, and on daily patrols.  Notification of any untaxed vehicle is sent, by the Street Scene Enforcement Team, to the DVLA for their enforcement action.

On certain occasions, the Council will also work in partnership with the DVLA to wheel clamp or remove untaxed vehicles. Untaxed vehicles should be reported to the DVLA in the first instance.
