The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) does not hold this information for individual parliamentary constituencies or UK regions. Between January 2011 and June 2014, there were 115,829 prosecutions throughout the UK for using or keeping an untaxed vehicle on the public road.

Prosecutions for the offence of keeping an uninsured vehicle began in November 2011. Up until the end of June 2014, 68,598 prosecutions for this offence had been taken forward across Great Britain.

The DVLA does not hold figures about prosecutions where the vehicle was both untaxed and uninsured.
