What Documents Do I Need to Scrap a Car?
The paperwork you need when scrapping a car in the UK, and what to do if something is missing.
V5C logbook
The V5C shows who the registered keeper is and is used to report the vehicle as scrapped to the DVLA.
Photo ID
Scrap metal dealers are required to verify the identity of the person selling a vehicle.
No MOT needed
A valid MOT is not required to scrap a vehicle in the UK.
Missing V5C?
Tell us when you enquire. You may still be able to scrap the car, and the DVLA must still be told it has been scrapped.
