In 2025, the Enforcement Bureau (BJI) of Uzbekistan auctioned 15,206 vehicles belonging to debtors. The total estimated value of this property exceeded 2.1 trillion Uzbek soums.

According to the BJI's information service, 5,746 vehicles have already been sold through electronic auctions, generating revenue of 797 billion soums. All auctions are conducted via the unified E-auksion platform.

The bureau explained that forced sales are only applied after exhausting all possibilities for voluntary debt repayment. Debtors are first given a legally established period to fulfill their obligations. If the debt remains unpaid, bank accounts, real estate, and vehicles are seized. The vehicles are then declared wanted, confiscated, and placed in impound lots for appraisal and subsequent sale.

The BJI's practice covers both large enterprises and private borrowers. For example, in Tashkent, a debtor enterprise had its real estate and a Spark car seized for non-payment of 1.5 billion soums in taxes. In another case, a capital city company had a debt of 2 billion soums recovered in favor of a bank, with 25 pledged vehicles, including Malibu-2, Tracker, and Lacetti models, seized. By selling part of the vehicle fleet, the debtor managed to repay about 1.9 billion soums.

Additionally, cases of personal vehicle sales due to failure to meet auto loan obligations are recorded. For instance, an Exeed LX crossover was sold for 328 million soums, and a Jetour for 230 million soums.

The Enforcement Bureau emphasizes that auctioning property is a legal method to secure financial obligations and is only used when other measures have proven ineffective.
