Scraping a Car not in Your Name
When you scrap a car not in your name, provide proof of ownership like a bill of sale or title. Then arrange for the car to be taken away and scrapped.
Maximizing Value and Legal Requirements
Selling vehicle and its parts can earn maximum value. Approach a scrap yard informing them you’re scrapping a car not in your name as facilities have specific requirements. Check local DMV regulations on scrapping cars without titles by getting a Bill of sale or “certificate of destruction”.
Sending Notification to DVLA
Include vehicle registration number, name and address of scrap yard, and VAT number if available in a letter to the DVLA explaining the car has been scrapped without the V5C logbook. This clarifies that you do not have the logbook. Send via recorded delivery as physical proof of notification.
