There are 4 in my road untaxed (not in Brum) that are from one house.

Have reported many times for being untaxed on the Gov website - so annoying
Reported to the council etc

Any other suggestions?

Is the car on the public road or on private land such as a driveway or front garden?

If it is on the road, check the MOT status. https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-status

If it does not have an MOT and is on a road, then I believe the police can get involved.

Public road and yes it has an MOT.
Even on a driveway I think it has to be taxed.

Stupid remark.

It affects all the residents in our road for many reasons.

I don't want to waste my time on the issue.
Just a bit selfish when one rented property in a quiet close has 12 vehicles

Can, but won’t unless said car blocks their favourite donut shop…

Untaxed - probably means also uninsured which is a far bigger issue…

Or have a SORN. But a SORN means it can't be driven off the drive.
