Scrap Car Paperwork

Aside from making sure you get the best price for your scrap car, there is also some paperwork that needs completing. This is to ensure the process is legal, documented and protects you as the consumer.

Before your car is scrapped it’s useful to find:

  • Photo ID
  • the V5C document (the car’s logbook)
  • the car’s registration document (V5C/2)

Can’t find these documents? Scrapping is still easy, but you will need to inform the DVLA that the car has been disposed of.

After the car has been scrapped, the scrap yard will provide you with a Certificate of Destruction (CoD). The CoD is issued by the DVLA to the scrap yard who will then send it to you in the post. It is then your responsibility to tell the DVLA that the car has been scrapped and you are no longer the owner.

Dubious that I would actually get what was offered over the phone as full payment not sent through until vehicle has been collected, however it was confirmed and all paid into account by end of the day of vehicle collection. Excellent service from initial contact through to payment. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How much is my scrap car worth?

    When a car is scrapped the price paid to the owner is mostly based on the car’s weight. Therefore bigger and heavier cars will be worth more than lighter and smaller cars. There may also be some regional differences in scrap car prices depending on where you are in the UK. If you car is bought for salvage, rather than scrapped and recycled, then your car is almost always worth more than the best scrap prices.

  2. Can I claim a car tax refund?

    When your car is scrapped you can claim back any unused car tax. You can claim back full months not yet elapsed from the last payment made for your vehicle. Car tax is not transferrable when you sell or scrap a car so scrapping sooner rather than later can get you more cash. Claim your tax back on the DVLA website.

  3. Are there any scrappage schemes available?

    As of 2024 there are some limited car scrappage schemes available in the UK. These offer cash/discount incentives on purchasing a new car, usually with fewer emissions and better environmental credentials. Schemes are either available by your location in the country or by your car manufacturer. However, do check your eligibility as there are strict limitations on most sche,mes.

  4. Can I scrap or sell a car on finance?

    Cars with oustanding finance are not easily scrapped as you might not be the actual owner of the vehicle. If you did want to scrap a financed car then you would need to pay any outstanding balance and inform the company who provided the car. If a car is salvaged then any amount we pay for the car can be used to offset the cost of the oustanding finance. Contact us for more details.
