Thank you for reporting an abandoned vehicle.
We will investigate to decide if the vehicle has been abandoned.
If it is abandoned, we will give notice to the owner before we remove it. The length of notice depends on the circumstances, and is normally:
• 7 days for vehicles on the public highway that are not dangerous - this applies to most abandoned vehicles
• 24 hours if we decide the vehicle is dangerous
• 15 days if the vehicle is on private land unless the landowner or occupier objects
Did you know…?
We investigate on average over 1500 reports of abandoned vehicles per year in Merton.Posted by Merton Council at 12:39, Wednesday 4 February 2026
