The PSNI and partner agencies recently carried out checks on the road worthiness of vehicles.
The modified suspension fell off a vehicle seized during the recent road safety operation that saw 14 vehicles confiscated in Derry.
Part of the car collapsed when it was placed on an inspection ramp last month.
Three illegal taxis were among the 14 vehicles that were taken off the road in the operation in September.
Police Derry City and Strabane say: “These photos show the condition of some of the vehicles inspected as part of a recent road safety operation in the city.
“This involved Foyleside and The Moor Neighbourhood Policing Team, working closely with Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA) transport enforcement colleagues and assisted by Tactical Group Support colleagues.
“On some of the vehicles checked, tyres were detected to be below the legal limit. On one vehicle, a modified suspension fell out of the vehicle when risen on the inspection ramp.
“14 vehicles were seized as part of the operation on 21st and 22nd September, with a number having prohibition notices being placed on them.
“A number of fixed penalty notices were issued and three motorists will be reported to the Public Prosecution Service.
“Three vehicles operating as illegal taxis were also seized.
“We are committed to keeping our roads safe and that includes ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy.”
