Most Stolen Cars in the UK (& Meet Up Announcement)
DVLA stats give us the top 10 most stolen cars in the UK for 2023, we also look at some of the worst cities for car thefts and some surprising car brands that have seen huge increases in thefts.
I also announce my first-ever channel meet, at The Handlebar Cafe just off J10 of the M3 at Winchester - this will take place 10:00-12:30 on Sunday 18th Feb 2024. All very informal - just come along for a brew if you fancy it.

A metal biscuit/cake tin with lid is a Faraday box, we use one to keep the keys in. It was free with biscuits one Christmas.
@@stevenvirgo6842 We have exactly that, looks just like a tin of biscuits someone's left on the side
Why not make the punishment for stealing cars 15 years imprisonment then maybe the numbers will go down
Money presumably
As an RX owner, I thought I would share that Lexus will fit some security plates for you FOC that go some way to thwarting one of their vulnerabilities. I’ve also deactivated keyless in the menus and put a steering lock on if parked away from home. Hope this helps someone.
👍👍👍
We had our Q5 taken from our driveway 3 weeks ago. The house was broken into and a set of keys taken, some cash from my wallet and nothing else touched. The police have been excellent but regrettably it’s just a sign of these times we live in - you have something “nice” and other folks want it. 😢
😕
Very interesting facts and figures. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Love the idea of the meet up. Well done for organising that. I'd love to get down and meet you and some of your followers. It's a long way for me but I've put it in my diary anyway. I'll try my best to make it down 🤞🏼👍🏼
It’s a fair stretch for you on a Sunday morning Mark so I would t blame you if you had a lay in instead! 👍
I thought it was funny that Land Rover are claiming their cars aren't the most stolen cars in the UK. But when you look at the numbers as a percentage of vehicles on the road, they are by far the worst. Almost three times as high as Mercedez which is the next highest.
Yep
Percentage wise, not necessarily in actual numbers.
Range Rover Sport Dropped by 28%
Carzy thing with the Lexus is that there are clips on youtube showing how thieves gain access to the security module through front wheel arch.
Shocking
Great video as always. Sad to see so many thefts but it would have been good to see percentage of the cars stolen against the number on the road. Trouble is the prisons are so full those responsible are back out in no time and that is if they get caught. Noticed a comment about putting Air Tags in your vehicle, unfortunately they notify anyone nearby unless you drill through a specific point on the tag!
Great point!
Hi, Advice for anyone with a Lexus/Toyota, I had my Lexus RX stollen in Oct 2022, the thieves did not need access to the keys, I had keyless entry disabled and my keys were in faraday bags, the entry point was that they physically hacked into the wiring harness by removing the trim from the front wheel arch and disconnecting the front headlights and connecting to the wires, took less then 2 minutes for them to unlock start the car and drive off! I advise driveway bollards, a steering lock and an aftermarket immobiliser such as ghost or equivalent… this issue is effecting most of Lexus/toyota models where wiring can be easily accessed by the removal of external trim which explains the sharp increase in thefts, car manufacturers need to start applying security such as encryption to the can bus or not allowing such easy access to the ECU through easily accessible wiring
I had a tracker on the car thankfully so within 4 hours I stole the car back as they parked it only 3 miles away
Good advice
Also no harm hiding a few AirTags in the car on the off chance it does get stolen
Lexus/toyota have also addressed this issue recently buy offering a free security plate to block access to the vulnerability, I highly recommend anyone with a Lexus/toyota to get in touch with their local dealership who will install free of charge
👍👍👍 Good morning Jim, in my youth Manchester and Swansea were always vying for the car theft capital of the UK. These thefts were down to joy-riders, if the vehicles weren't written off they could usually recovered. However times have changed It seems to be organised gangs are now stealing for profit. Thanks for the info Jim.
Yes, certainly seems like a professional setup nowadays
Why haven't the Police used bait cars in and around the worst area's to catch these gangs if they claim they are working with manufacturers to combat the thefts? One answer i know of and they say let your insurance deal with the theft and claim. 🤔 Lazy policing.
We don’t know that they’re not in fairness
I actually was thinking the same thing, such an easy sting to set up....
They have probably tried it but their vehicle got stolen and are too embarrassed to mention it because these organised criminals are well tooled up.
@@ajh5552 they were probably using fiestas....
Had a Morris marina stolen back in the day ( yep that old ) . They hammered a nail down the ignition barrel. bent the nail to start it. Police found it at a local pub two days later and it started the same way when I came and collected it. Think they realised how sh!t it was so just left it.🤣
😂😂 my dad had a beige one
If anybody steals our 2017 kia rio and puts there freedom and future self at risk for it, need a medical health check before they get locked up😢
👌
Thanks for that Jimbo👍
Cheers Dave
IMHO JLR are in denial. Believe that by advertising they will make all the problems disappear. Their MD in the UK has already stated that JLR are NOT the most stolen vehicles and doesn't understand where the figures come from. Well they came from the government according to an article on BBC News site. I love Range Rovers but with the security problems and the cost of insurance, it's not on my Birthday or Christmas list. Keep up the good work. Sadly Winchester is about 3 hours plus from me. All best and hope it goes well.
👍👍👍
Cheers Jim, interesting vid 👍
Thanks 👍
Interesting stats Jim . Over 175 cars a day ! Mad.
It really is
You need the pick of the pops music in background during your countdown lol
That would be dope

I’m having an Immobiliser and tracker fitted to my brand new ZRV I bought last week, too many keyless thefts in my area at the moment
👍
Faraday is your friend
Numbers of stolen Kia and Hyundai are also high in USA and has been linked to a loophole in the security system. Owners have sued for this. Not surprised the same numbers are being seen over here.
👍
I was under the impression that the US KIA/Hyundai thefts were due to the fact that the US models didn't have immobilisers as standard so all that was needed was a USB plug once the steering column was messed with. However, in the UK immobilisers have been mandatory since before 2000 IIRC; so I am not sure how the UK cars are being targeted. I'm particularly interested as I have a KIA (non-keyless), but can't seem to find any more info.
It'd be interesting to see the age of the models stolen, are the new ones easier or harder to steal or just more desirable?
👍
IMHO keyless entry is the WORST invention ever made for a car
👌
Earlier Toyota RAV4’s are an easy target via the front nearside wheel arch gaining access to the CanBus. Toyota offer a steel plate upgrade to prevent this, later RAV’s not affected.
👍
Hi Nigel! I have RAV4 hybrid 16 model and you have me worried, could you please confirm the years affected? Cheers.
I believe it’s the latest Hybrid model RAV’s that are the targets. The plug in Hybrids have an updated CanBus so are not as vulnerable. Toyota are aware so it is best to check with your local dealer. A steel plate can be fitted to stop the attack through the wheel arch into the headlight.
@@nigelturner3251 thanks.👍
Glad my Lexus IS is not in this list
👍👍
ranger rover sport 28% down from last year so thats positive
There are probably none left....
👌
My 2007 Citroen Berlingo is not on the list😢
:)
Toyota's and Lexus are very popular in various parts of the world
👍
Look again. Range Rover Sport has DROPPED 28%. They are decreasing not increasing, the Merc has INCREASED.
Ok
So why are Range Rovers effectively uninsurable when they are down your list ?
Look how many there are on the road va Fiestas. Also look at the value and just how damned easy they are to steal. There you will find your answer.
Also how old are the models most commonly stolen - JLR IIRC is retro fitting an upgraded anti-theft system to cars going back to around 2014 which was when the first version of their optional (then) and after 3 years old was a subscription, built in tracker were launched as part of the InControl Secure system. I had an attempt to steal both an 2010 Range Rover L322 and a 2011 Evoque from my driveway but thanks to my very elderly and nocturnal next door neighbour the thieves were caught red handed after she called the police. On both occasions I was out of the country, my car keys were not left in the house and both cars had after market trackers on them. I live in a small village in Central Scotland and on the night of the attempted theft of the RR 3 other Landies were stolen from local farms or off other drives in the village. There was a gang operating and the gang members were all caught and deported back to Pakistan………… a country that drives on the left like us.
Many years ago I posted a photo of the imported cars compound at the port of Port Klang in Malayasia - all the cars (Mercs, BMWs and Range Rovers) still had their U.K. number plates on them so I posted the photo on several owner’s forums - 2 Range Rover owners saw their cars in the photo!
Range Rover are high value and highly desirable, the insurance companies obviously know the full story, I read a recent post where an owner said he had to park his range rover in the garage and his fararri was on the driveway.
Why did it need a FOI request to get these stats? Does DVLA not publish them? That is news in itself
