Delete a car
Permanently deletes a car that has never been used on a mileage registration.
Hard delete. Refused (37830) as soon as any mileage registration uses the car — a car with history can only be deactivated, which the API cannot do. Ordinary users can delete only their own private cars; users with access to the car administration page can delete any unused car of the account.
Use it to:
- Remove a car added by mistake
Behaviour:
- Not idempotent.
- Safe to retry only under a condition. A repeat after success hits an unknown id (500 Code 100).
- Side effect: Clears the CALLER's default-car setting if it pointed to this car. Another user's setting that pointed to it is treated as empty from then on.
- Changes are visible to the next read immediately.
Call first: GET /v1/car

/v1/car/{id}Target server for requests. Edit to use your own host.
OAuth 2.0 bearer token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. JWT and reference tokens are both accepted. The token must carry the required scope (default tlp).
The token's sub claim is the acting user. A token WITHOUT sub (client-credentials) acts as the system service user. If the sub user cannot log in (inactive, locked, deleted), the request is rejected with 401 — it is no longer let through without a user.
