The Ministry of Justice has published information on convictions for motor vehicle theft offences in England and Wales for the last 10 calendar years, available in the ‘Outcomes by Offence’ data tool, which can be found here:

Select the following in the ‘offence’ filter:

  • 130 Theft of a motor vehicle – summary (MOT)
  • 48 Theft of a motor vehicle (excl. aggravated vehicle taking) – triable either way (MOT)

The number of convictions will be found on row 24.
