V5C sections, Certificates of Destruction, tax refunds and write-off categories, explained plainly.
Selling, scrapping and a write-off each use a different part of the V5C. Here is exactly which one, and what the DVLA does next.
Five minutes, one 11-digit number and the ATF's details. Here is the online notification from start to finish.
On HP or PCP the finance company usually owns the car until the last payment. Here is how to scrap it properly.
A CoD is the only document that legally ends your responsibility for a vehicle. Here is who can issue one and when you should get it.
V5C, tax refund, insurance cancellation and the notification itself. Five minutes of admin that saves months of letters.
Losing the log book does not stop you scrapping the car. It just changes what you need to prove and who you can sell to.
Do these in the wrong order and you either lose a refund or leave yourself liable. The correct sequence takes ten minutes.
Only two of the four write-off categories can ever be driven again. Knowing which one you have decides everything.
A sensitive job with a clear process. What the executor needs, what the DVLA needs, and what we need.
Collection day to refund cheque, with the dates you should expect at each stage and the exact point at which you should start chasing.
Free collection across Scotland, no admin fees, same-day bank transfer.
