Would love to know how to get rid of an abandoned car in the road,
where we are short of parking places. Not MoT'ed and SORN'ed.
Been there for 18 months. Interior now all gone moldy.

Council slapped a removal notice on it, but owners contacted them
and said they hoped to get it working again, which technically
means it's not abandoned, so council can't remove it.

Council however reported it to DVLA because it's SORNed and on the
public road, but DLVA did nothing.

A local policeman also tried to get it removed, but couldn't find
any way to do so and gave up.

Use a trolley jack to move it into the middle of the road. Then complain.

Is this a private road?

I'd also contact the DVLA myself. SORN means kept *off* the public roads,
so no VED payable. If it is on a public road VED is applicable even if it
never moves an inch.
