When can a car be legally repossed?

Default on auto loan payments: Failure to make required monthly instalments according to the terms of your auto loan agreement can lead to repossession.

Breach of contract terms: Besides payment default, other breaches of the loan contract, such as failing to maintain insurance or violating usage limitation, can also trigger repossession.

In certain cases, even if the loan is in good standing: For example, if the car is part of a bankruptcy case or if it is used for illegal activities.

Repossession laws vary by jurisdiction, so make sure to consult local laws and regulations for your specific situation.
