Default Impounded vehicle

Hi.
My son said that he would pay for my Honda Prelude to be MOT'ed, and for any required work needed for MOT.
Apparently he knows a garage owner who does all this, and was claiming he would get "friends" prices.
I took the car to the garage about two weeks ago.
I have just received a letter to say the vehicle has been impounded., yesterday, 3rd March.
I have attempted to phone the provided numbers, but theres no answer.
As i am the registered keeper, im guessing i have full responsibility?
Although, as the charges are going to be pretty hefty i imagine, am i just out of pocket, if i decide to pay for vehicle charges?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Chris.

Hi old_andrew2007,
The letter is from DVLA.
It states that "NCP Bristol Vehicle pound" has the vehicle.
Car was impounded under "The Vehicle excise Duty Regulations"
It was under a SORN, but was told that MOT work allowed for vehicle to be transported etc.

If the garage left it out on the public highway, then you are stuffed - they cannot drive the vehicle on the public road to anything other than an MoT test, which must be pre-booked. If, however, the vehicle was taken from garage property then it was an improper lift (has happened before) so you need to find out what the garage had done with the car, and try to shift the responsibility to them.

Hi buzby,
Thanks.
I have just got through to NCP enquiry line, and they said there would be no charge to release vehicle, providing i can prove the car was at garage for MOT. So theres hope yet.
Im not getting my hopes up too much, as i know how these things can turn.
I will post back to let you all know how this one ends........

Can they not drive it on a public road if they have trade plates?

'They' being the garage? Absolutely - but the owner couldn't, they would have to arrange 'book' a test and drive directly to it.

Yes, they can drive it on trade plates, but it is an offence (police matter) to park a vehicle on the public highway whilst displaying trade plates. I should imagine in this instance the garage just parked it out on the road. Whenever taking an untaxed vehicle to be left at an MoT station you should always insist to the garage that they do not park it on the road.
