It could provide an avenue for the tax disk to leave the car.

It was probably taken to the scrapyard-surprised this hadnt happened sooner.
Nowadays, an average hatchback is worth about £150 in scrap- and thats including them collecting it for you as well! Thats why you hardly ever see abandoned cars anymore, yet 10 years ago, they were everywhere as you had to pay about £30 for the scrappy to even take it,back then!

There's an M3 near me with a dinged panel and a flat front tyre. Looks like it was used to joy-ride then ditched.

How long until I can claim it?

The authorities have all the information available to check its MOT,Insurance,Road fund tax, and the registered owner without needing a stolen tax disk.
