Certificate of Destruction
It is a now a legal requirement for all scrap cars to be issued
with an official DVLA Certificate of Destruction when they reach
the end of their useful life.
Did you know that...
 |
The Certificate of Destruction can only be issued by Authorised
Treatment Facilities which have been approved by DVLA.
|
|
The Certificate of Destruction is the only form of document
recognised by DVLA as proof that a car has been destroyed at an
Authorised Treatment Facility.
|
|
If you scrap your car without obtaining an official Certificate
of Destruction you could be fined by DVLA, or even worse, if your
car ends up being returned to the road by an unscrupulous operator
you could face prosecution if it is later used for criminal
activity.
