SINGAPORE – Ninety-one deregistered vehicles were impounded after an islandwide crackdown in September, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the police said in a joint statement on Oct 5.

This comes on the back of an increase in reported cases of deregistered vehicles used on Singapore roads, from 75 in 2024 to 245 in 2025, the authorities had said in September.

Measures to curb such offences have been tightened.

The maximum penalties for keeping or using unregistered or deregistered vehicles were raised in February 2026.

First-time offenders will be fined up to $20,000 and/or jailed for up to two years. For repeat offenders, the penalties will be doubled.

The use of deregistered vehicles poses a serious road safety risk as they are neither roadworthy nor have valid insurance, said the authorities. They also lack valid certificates of entitlement or road tax.

When deregistering a vehicle, owners should ensure that all necessary administrative processes are completed, said LTA .

For example, in the case of a vehicle being traded in, the transfer of ownership should be completed before the vehicle is deregistered.

Owners should also ensure that buyers confirm the transfer transaction on LTA’s OneMotoring website .

Those exporting their vehicles should ensure relevant disposal documents are obtained for submission to LTA, as the last registered vehicle owner will be investigated in cases of misuse.

The authorities remind vehicle owners to fulfil their responsibilities when deregistering their vehicles and ensure proper disposal in accordance with LTA’s requirements.

LTA also encourages members of the public to report any suspected keeping or use of deregistered vehicles via OneMotoring or the OneService app .

The authorities say that they will “take a firm stance against the keeping and use of deregistered vehicles and will continue to enforce against those who do so”.

新加坡——陆路交通管理局（LTA）和警方在10月5日发表的联合声明中表示，9月份全岛范围内的打击行动中，共扣押了91辆已注销登记的车辆。

此前有报道称，新加坡道路上使用的已注销车辆数量有所增加，从 2024 年的 75 辆增加到 2025 年的 245 辆，当局在 9 月份曾表示。

已加强措施遏制此类违法行为。

2026 年 2 月，对持有或使用未注册或已注销车辆的最高处罚力度有所提高。

初犯者将被处以最高2万美元的罚款和/或最高两年的监禁。对于累犯，处罚将加倍。

当局表示，使用已注销车辆会造成严重的道路安全隐患，因为这些车辆既不符合道路行驶标准，也没有有效的保险。此外，它们也缺乏有效的车辆所有权证书或道路税单。

陆路交通管理局表示，车主在注销车辆时，应确保所有必要的行政手续都已完成。

例如，在车辆置换的情况下，所有权转移应在车辆注​​销之前完成。

车主还应确保买家在陆路交通管理局的 OneMotoring 网站上确认过户交易。

出口车辆者应确保取得相关处置文件并提交给陆路交通管理局，因为在滥用车辆的情况下，最后登记的车辆所有者将被调查。

当局提醒车主在注销车辆时履行其责任，并确保按照陆路交通管理局的要求妥善处置车辆。

陆路交通管理局也鼓励公众通过 OneMotoring 或 OneService 应用程序举报任何涉嫌持有或使用已注销车辆的行为。

当局表示，他们将“坚决打击持有和使用已注销车辆的行为，并将继续对违法者进行执法”。
