Scrappage Scheme

The scheme is fully up and running now and proving a big hit with some manufacturers - mainly the ones producing the smaller cheaper cars.

The criteria is that the car must have been registered in your name for at least a year, it must have been registered on or before August 31st 1999 (ie. up to T reg), it must either have a valid MOT at the time of ordering the new car or have one that expired no more than 14 days previously. It must also have a valid road tax disc at the time of order.

The supplying dealership must organise the scrapping of your car now which means either taking your car into the dealership or having it collected 3 days prior to the new car delivery by a company that specialises in the scrappage scheme, such as CarTakeBack. You are no longer allowed to scrap the car yourself.

You will need to take photocopies of your V5, MOT and Road Tax disc before scrapping the vehicle.
