Scrap Car Disposal Scrappage Scheme

Once you have read the criteria below to see if you are eligible and before you submit your vehicle, ask your local dealer if they are taking part in the scheme. We are collecting vehicles from main dealers directly at this time, however some have agreed that a CoD (Certificate of destruction) Is more than adequate to process your purchase of a new vehicle. Infact many car dealers have stressed they would prefer this method, rather than having scrappage vehicles consuming space at dealerships. We have been receiving lots of enquiries with regard to the budget announcement regarding the scrap car voucher scheme. After months of speculation the government have finally set out plans for a cash-for-scrap scheme to be used in the UK in order to try and boost new car sales.

How much is on offer?

The bonus on offer is a maximum of £2000 off a new car for anyone who takes their old car over ten years old to be scrapped.

This is made up of £1000 from the government and £1000 from the motoring industry.

Do I qualify?

In order to qualify for the cash-for-scrap scheme, the old car that is going to be scrapped must fall under a number of conditions.

Firstly, the car has to be at least ten years old and first registered in the UK on or before the 31 July 1999.

The old car must be currently registered with the DVLA to the person making the application for the bonus or currently on Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN).

Any old car that is going to be used to scrap must also have a current MOT test certificate and the registered keeper of the car must also have a UK address in order to apply for the bonus.

Finally, the person scrapping in their old car must have been the registered keeper of the vehicle continuously for the previous 12 calendar months before the order date of the new vehicle.
