UltraWomble Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 What is the craic with regards cars dumped on private land - how does the landowner become the legal owner so that he can scrap them? I once helped a GP remove a couple of dumped cars off his land back in the days when scrapped cars were worth nowt. Strikes me as these days there would be worth a few quid, so rather than drag them out onto the road you could drag them off to the scrappers.

Strikes me as these days there would be worth a few quid, so rather than drag them out onto the road you could drag them off to the scrappers. It can be done but takes absolutely ages - the only abandoned one we had in our flat parking was also Polish registered so even more complicated as there was no way of finding how who the ‘owner’ was. I think it involves contacting the DVLA to establish who the keeper is, sending them a letter, then a reminder etc. After a certain period of time has elapsed the ‘ownership’ of the car must be transferred somehow to the landlord so they can arrange disposal of it. I have no idea how our management company dealt with the Polish Daewoo, it was unlocked and did occasionally have homeless people sleeping in it so I suspect they were given permission by the police or council to remove it on health and/or nuisance grounds. At the end of the day, if the owner lived in one of the flats, they would have been breaking the terms of the lease by keeping an untaxed/unroadworthy car on the premises (wording and restrictions will vary, but there’s usually a clause about any vehicles being ‘legal’ and kept in reasonable condition i.e. if you are not using on the road it must be on SORN and not allowed to fall to pieces). So the management company could easily argue - to someone who might have been away for absolutely ages and returned to no car - that no compensation was due for the loss of the vehicle as you were breaking the terms of your lease.

My 1st thought the Merc had to be worth a few quid, and it is according to CTB - £384. 2nd thought get the scrappy in for easy* money. Certainly not worth losing my job for though. God knows how long it will take work to legally remove it. MOT expired December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clucking Bell: That's an E300 TD, with half the miles on it that mine has, and likely to have a lot of very useful parts on it that I could very much do with. Any chance of finding who the owner is?

If you really need the space and don't care about the scrap money I'd just get someone with an appropriate vehicle to drag it onto the nearest public road (without damaging it of course) and then report it for being untaxed.
