I am the registered keeper, a family member is the legal owner can bailiffs take his car?


No

Bailiffs may take control of goods only if they are goods of the debtor.[1]

The Local Government Ombudsman, Focus report: learning lessons from complaints, states:

We consider that bailiffs should check the vehicle does belong to the debtor before removing it.[2]

The registered keeper of a car is not the owner.[3]
