Yes, you can scrap your car without the V5 logbook. Having the V5 makes it easier, but it’s not essential. Let’s see how to get it done.
What documents my local scrapyard expect ?
- V5C logbook
- Proof of address
- Photo ID (Eg: driving licence)
If you don’t have the logbook, fill out an authorisation form to approve scrapping your car.
How much does it cost to replace V5?
You can apply for a new V5 from the DVLA for £25 before scrapping.
Do I need to notify DVLA if I scrap my Car ?
It’s crucial to inform the DVLA once you’ve scrapped your vehicle. Here’s how you can do it:
Inform DVLA Online
The easiest method is via the DVLA website. Have your car details ready and follow the simple steps online.
Inform DVLA By Post
Fill out the relevant section of your V5C logbook and send it to:
DVLA
Swansea
SA99 1BA
Can I scrap an unregistered car?
It might not guarantee success, but there’s a chance it could work if you include a letter explaining why you don’t have the registration number.
