The Ministry of Transport has removed 62 vehicles to date from public parking spaces after they were found without Road Worthiness Certificates (MOT), including a large number from Grand Parade. The campaign will be paused from today until Monday, 19th January, to give vehicle owners an opportunity to regularise their situation.

A statement from the Government follows below:

The Ministry of Transport would like to follow up on press release 948/2025 with regards to derelict vehicles. 

To date, 62 vehicles with no Road Worthiness Certificates (no ‘MOT') have been removed from public parking spaces including a large number from Grand Parade. 

The campaign will be paused as from today until Monday 19th January 2026, in order to give vehicles owners a renewed opportunity to regularise their situation. 

During this time, vehicle owners are encouraged to check the expiry date of their Road Worthiness Certificates and book the appropriate test. 

Tests can be booked online:

or in person at the ‘MOT’ Centre on Devil’s Tower Road. To avoid vehicles being removed, owners  with bookings should display details clearly on the front of the vehicle. 

Those who no longer want their vehicle can avoid all costs by signing the vehicle over for disposal  and handing the logbook to the RGP or Gibraltar Car Parks. 

RGP - 200 72500 

Gibraltar Car Parks - 200 49202 

The Ministry will continue this campaign throughout 2026.

Apart from ensuring that vehicles  comply with the law and are safe, this will also relieve pressure on parking spaces.
