You do not legally need a V5C logbook to scrap your car, but it does help. If you do not have one, let us know before booking, we will advise you on the best way to proceed. In some cases, we may ask for alternative proof of ownership.

When your vehicle is processed at a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, the ATF notifies the DVLA electronically and a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is issued. This formally removes the vehicle from the DVLA database. You should also notify the DVLA yourself using the V5C logbook and claim back any remaining road tax.

A Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is a legal document issued by an Authorised Treatment Facility once a vehicle has been permanently scrapped. It proves that the car has been disposed of in compliance with the End of Life Vehicles Regulations and that you are no longer the registered keeper. You should receive a copy within a few days of collection.
