. Scrap My Car: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When scrapping your car with the DVLA in the UK, follow these steps:

1. Choose an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) or licensed scrapyard.

2. Ensure the scrapyard provides a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) upon scrapping your vehicle.

3. Inform the DVLA about the scrapping by completing and returning the relevant section of the V5C logbook (also known as the “yellow slip”).

4. Keep the top portion (V5C/3) of the logbook, which serves as proof that you’ve notified the DVLA.

5. If you don’t have the V5C logbook, notify the DVLA using a DVLA V62 form, explaining that the vehicle has been scrapped.

6. Retain the CoD and any paperwork from the scrapyard as proof of disposal.

Remember to follow the specific guidelines provided by the DVLA to ensure proper notification and disposal of your scrapped vehicle.
