Four companies have announced plans to auction uncollected vehicles and motorbikes across Kenya after issuing public notices in the Kenya Gazette on October 9. The notices stated that the items would be sold at public auction or by private treaty if their owners failed to claim them within the specified period under the Disposal of Uncollected Goods Act.
In Nairobi, Donwell Supplies Limited revealed that it is holding a motor vehicle with a KBP registration plate that has remained in its custody since April 2016. The company gave the owner 30 days to collect the vehicle and settle all outstanding debts, including interest, storage fees, and publication costs. Failure to do so will result in the vehicle being sold to recover the accrued expenses.
Similarly, Amuma Motor Garage issued a notice regarding a Suzuki Alto (KDJ), giving the owner 30 days to collect it. The garage emphasized that the release of the vehicle would only occur once all accrued storage and publication costs are cleared.
In Bomet County, Petfriend Auctioneers announced that it will sell several unclaimed vehicles and motorcycles currently held at Litein Police Station. The list includes a Toyota Sprinter, Toyota Wish, and several TVS and Boxer motorbikes. The owners have 21 days from the publication date to reclaim their property before the auction proceeds.
Meanwhile, Euro Model Kenya Limited, trading as Fancy Friends, plans to auction several high-end vehicles, including Land Cruisers, Land Rover Defenders, Ford Everests, and Volkswagen Passats. The company noted that owners must pay all accumulated storage charges and related costs within 30 days or risk losing their vehicles through public auction.
These notices serve as a reminder to vehicle owners to promptly settle storage and service fees to avoid losing their property under auction.
