Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll normally need photo ID, proof of address and any supporting paperwork available, such as MOT certificates or service history. The checks may take a little longer while the vehicle and ownership details are verified, but we'll explain what you need before collection is arranged.

No, you don't need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are relatively common and won't normally prevent collection or affect the quoted price.

Yes, you can scrap a car without an MOT in Otley, and our guide explains the basics of selling a vehicle without an MOT.

You'll need your V5C log book to scrap your car in Otley, together with photo ID and proof of address.

Whether your car has reached the end of its useful life around Otley or nearby West Yorkshire roads, the process is designed to keep things straightforward. There's never been an easier way to scrap cars in Otley.

No, any outstanding finance generally needs to be settled before the vehicle can be scrapped, unless the finance company gives clear permission for disposal. As lenders retain a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, it's important to contact them before booking. Once you've confirmed the position with the finance provider, we'll explain what needs to happen next.

Payment is made by bank transfer rather than cash. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, cash payments for scrap vehicles aren't permitted, and the agreed price is the amount paid when your vehicle is collected. Provided the vehicle details match what was entered when booking, there are no last-minute reductions before the money is transferred to your account.

Yes, you can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, although certain conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you'll need to demonstrate a legitimate reason for possessing the vehicle, such as a gift, inheritance or deceased estate. You'll also need proof of identity and suitable supporting paperwork, such as a will, gift letter or statutory declaration, and we'll advise you on the requirements for your situation before booking.
