If you don't pay within 24 hours they can impound the vehicle -- and crush it or sell it after 7 days.
The release fee is £100 for the first 24h and £200 thereafter. There is a £21 a day storage fee if they lift the vehicle. In addition you have to tax the car before they will release it and also cover any back tax due.
It may be he does not have the money to pay the fee or access to credit to cover it.
