Yes, you can still scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll normally need photo ID, proof of address, and any other useful records such as MOT certificates or service history.

No, a car with outstanding finance cannot usually be scrapped unless the finance has been cleared or the finance provider gives permission. As the lender may still have a legal interest in the vehicle, it's important to contact them before arranging collection. We'll help you understand what confirmation or evidence may be needed so the process is handled correctly.

Yes, you can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, although some additional checks may be required. Where possible, the registered keeper should provide written permission, or you'll need to show why you are legally in possession of the vehicle, such as through an inheritance, gift or deceased estate. Supporting documents, ID, and paperwork such as a gift letter, will, or statutory declaration may also be needed before collection.

Scrap car payments are made by bank transfer rather than cash. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, cash payments cannot be made for scrap vehicles, helping keep the industry secure and traceable. The amount agreed is the amount paid when your vehicle is collected, provided the details supplied match the car being picked up, with no unexpected reductions.
