How does scrapping a vehicle work?

When your car or van is no longer usable and you decide it’s not worth repairing then you may want to scrap your vehicle.

By law, you must take your car or van to what the authorities call an authorised treatment facility or ATF. Most people call it a scrapyard or breaker’s yard. It’s illegal to take your vehicle to an unauthorised scrapyard.

Do I have to bring the car to you?

We offer a free collection service to large parts of the UK, so it’s worth checking whether you can take advantage of this.

What happens to my car or van?

It will either be scrapped, or repaired and sold on.

How will you pay me for my car or van?

In most cases we have to pay you by cheque or bank transfer, in accordance with the law. However, if your car has a valid MOT certificate and you agree it can be sold on, then we can pay you cash.

What do the DVLA need to see when you scrap your car?

You must give us the vehicle logbook (V5C) but you need to keep the yellow slip or V5C/3 from it. Then you need to let the DVLA know that you’ve scrapped your car or van.

What happens if your car or van is completely scrapped rather than repaired and sold on?

In this case, if you’ve scrapped a car, light van, or three-wheeled motor vehicle we will give you a Certificate of Destruction within seven days.

You need this certificate to prove that you’ve handed the vehicle over for scrap.

 

How long does it take to get a quote?

Once you have contacted us, we aim to get back to our customers as soon as possible. The only time you won’t hear back from us quickly is if we are exceedingly busy!

Do I need my logbook?

Yes, you need to have your logbook in order to scrap your vehicle.
