Abandoned vehicles

Report an abandoned car or other vehicle online.

What you can do about abandoned vehicles

Vehicles parked for a long period of time aren't always considered to be abandoned, the owner may be away from home or unable to drive. If the car is in good repair, legally parked, has MOT and tax then no crime has been committed and unfortunately we cannot take action.

You should first check the vehicles details online at GOV.UK

If the vehicle is not taxed you should report it to the DVLA

If the vehicle does not have MOT you should report it to the Police on 101 .

You can only report a vehicle with no MOT to the police if it’s being used on a road.

If the vehicle is parked dangerously, this needs to be reported to the Police.

If the vehicle is causing an obstruction then this should be reported to LCC Highways:
Report nuisance parking | Nuisance parking – Lincolnshire County Council

If you find an abandoned vehicle that you believe could be stolen, please Contact Lincolnshire Police on 101 or use the online reporting facility on the Lincolnshire Police website
