Was the car registered to you? Taxed? Insured? Do you have a valid licence?
yes to everything

Do you think they bothered getting a locksmith to search inside the car?

you locked it before doing a runner? didn't leave the keys?
not difficult to work out who would fo that is it.

Yeah I managed to lock the car, I'd lost them quite a while before parking up so no body actually saw who exited the car.

You should assume that if they had the car examined by forensics they will have examined the inside as well as the outside. I imagine specialist forensic vehicle examiners have no difficulty opening vehicles without the key. Your driving and then doing a runner would be all they need to justify them opening the car. That's just an assumption by me, I've no personal knowledge or experience of this.

Has the OP been served a NIP as they are now outside the 14 day window?  do they require one to be convicted of any driving offence?

I suppose they can still be served a S172 where they have to say who was driving or face 6 points but if they are in the clear regarding driving offences they can name themselves.

The only question is what was inside the car that the OP was afraid of being found? Is it worth 6 points to avoid further incriminating themselves regarding that.
