What does it mean when a vehicle is in a seized status?

[LePiper]

Seized vehicles are those prohibited by the court from undergoing registration, modification, transfer, mortgage release, cancellation, or pledge removal due to economic debt disputes or other reasons. Below is relevant information: Query Method: Owners can log in to any national public security bureau's vehicle inquiry system, input the license plate number, and check the status column. If it shows 'locked,' the vehicle may be seized or mortgaged, preventing transfer or other procedures. For specific reasons, the owner must bring relevant documents (ID card, vehicle registration certificate, driving license) to the license plate issuing authority to inquire. Seizure Methods: Vehicles purchased via installment payments, fully paid vehicles, vehicles used by criminals for illegal activities, or vehicles bought with illicit funds.
