No. If you're unavailable on collection day, another adult aged 18 or over can hand the vehicle over for you. They'll simply need access to the car along with any paperwork we've requested beforehand. Whether your vehicle is parked near Nantwich Lake, on a driveway in Willaston, or at a business on Alvaston Business Park, we'll confirm the collection arrangements in advance so everything goes to plan.

Yes. Misplacing your V5C logbook doesn't necessarily prevent you from scrapping your vehicle. We'll usually ask for photo ID, proof of address, and any documents that help establish ownership, such as MOT certificates or servicing records. Once these checks have been completed, collection can normally be arranged without any problems.

Yes. We collect electric vehicles, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, mild hybrids and petrol or diesel cars throughout Nantwich. Every EV or hybrid is taken to an authorised treatment facility, where trained specialists safely remove and process high-voltage battery systems in line with vehicle disposal regulations before the remaining materials are recycled.

Yes, although you'll need to demonstrate that you have the legal authority to dispose of the vehicle. This could be written permission from the registered keeper or supporting evidence relating to an inheritance, gift, or deceased estate. We'll also ask for identification and any relevant documents before confirming the collection, so everything complies with DVLA requirements.

Most collections only require your V5C logbook, a valid photo ID and proof of address. If you've misplaced the V5C, don't assume you can't continue. Alternative documents are often accepted, and we'll explain exactly what you'll need before collection day so there are no unexpected delays.

Yes. If you'd like one, a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) can be issued within seven days after your vehicle has been processed at an authorised treatment facility. We also notify the DVLA on your behalf, meaning the vehicle is officially removed from your responsibility without you needing to arrange this separately.

Not usually. If there's outstanding finance on the vehicle, the lender still has legal ownership rights until the agreement has been settled. In some circumstances they may authorise the vehicle to be scrapped, so it's always worth contacting them first. Once permission or settlement has been confirmed, we'll help you complete the booking process.

Yes. A valid MOT isn't required to scrap your vehicle, so a car without an MOT can still be collected and recycled. As long as the recovery truck can safely access the vehicle, we'll arrange collection. Many owners in Nantwich choose this option after repeated MOT failures make further repairs poor value for money. Get your quote today with Car.co.uk to ensure the best deal.

Yes. A vehicle that's registered as SORN can still be collected, even though it isn't taxed or insured. It must remain off the public road until our driver arrives, so collection should take place from a driveway, garage, farm, or other private land. Once you scrap your car online, we'll manage the DVLA notification as part of the recycling process, bringing the SORN record to an end automatically.
