What Do I Need To Scrap My Car From Outside The UK?

You will need to ensure you follow the guidelines set by the government which the car came from.

Please note that our online form does not recognise foreign plates, so you should call the office on 01706577574 to book your vehicle for collection.

What Do I Need On The Day Of Collection?

On collection day, keep your vehicle logbook, keys, photo ID and payment details to hand.

What Do I Do With My Logbook?

If you have your vehicle log book (V5C), then please provide our driver with it on the day of collection.

  1. The driver will fill out your V5C with the appropriate information.
  2. You will be given either section 4 or section 9 from your V5C.
  3. You will need to send section 4 or 9 to DVLA to confirm that your car’s been scrapped.

You can notify the DVLA online or by post.

Can I Scrap My Car Without My Logbook?

Yes! You don’t need your logbook (V5C) to scrap your car with us. Although, we require you to provide our collection agent with:

Keys to your vehicle
Valid Photo ID, such as a driver’s licence or passport. 

Once your vehicle has been collected, you will be required to inform the DVLA of where the vehicle has been scrapped.

On request, we can provide you with this information.

How Do I Fill Out My V5C?

Legally, you are required to inform the DVLA upon scrappage of your vehicle. 

Doing so is easy. If your V5C was issued before April 2019 you need to complete section 9 of your logbook. If your V5C was issued after April 2019 it will be section 4.

You can also refer to our agent on the day of collection for any assistance in filling out your V5C. Once complete, you will need to send it over to the DVLA online or by post as notice of your vehicle being scrapped.
