It’s important to get the DVLA paperwork right when you sell your car, whether your car is ready to recycle, or still has some miles left in it. Choosing CarTakeBack will ensure that everything is done correctly. You’ll want to make sure that you’re doing things properly to avoid an automatic fine from DVLA, and free you from any responsibility for your old car.
When you sell your car with CarTakeBack, you should notify DVLA. You can do this either online or via post using your registration certificate (V5C – the logbook). If you don’t have the registration certificate you can write a letter with the details.
When you notify DVLA, you’ll be sent a letter and an email confirmation (if you gave your email address using the Gov.uk website) confirming you’re no longer the registered keeper of the car, and a refund cheque for any full months left on your vehicle tax, calculated from the date DVLA gets your information – if you pay by Direct Debit, it’ll be cancelled automatically.
If your car is scrapped, you’ll receive an official DVLA Certificate of Destruction from your local CarTakeBack branch, as proof that you’re no longer responsible for the scrap car.
A Certificate of Destruction is an official DVLA document which is issued by a CarTakeBack branch when they recycle your scrap car, using our electronic link to the DVLA’s vehicle registration database. The certificate proves that you’ve disposed of your car correctly and prevents you from being penalised.

Excellent customer service, very efficient and effective process. Everyone was polite, courteous and helpful. Advice and information was clear and easy to understand.
The whole process was very straightforward- got a price I was happy with, they collected my car at the dealership within 2 days and got paid within a couple of hours. Very good service all around. Thank you
Easy to deal with. Offered a price, no haggling, paid the price and picked the car up, very easy, actually came earlier than expected which doesn’t happen to often and very tidy and accommodating.
Was apprehensive regarding payment but turned out no problem payment paid within 24 hrs . Very easy transaction hope not to do it again but I have their number in case
Excellent service after a previous disappointing experience with a company offering a higher price. Good communication, timely scheduling, friendly and efficient staff including collecting driver
Good price, prompt payment. Attended as arranged for collection of vehicle and sorted all tue paperwork. I was anxious before scrapping a car like this not knowing what to expect but it couldn’t have been any better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the beginning to the end nothing was too much trouble. Collection date arrange and the company collecting, Redcorn, called to confirm. On the day they even called 1/2 an hour before to give me time to be at the location. Perfect.
An absolute excellent service. Easy to book a collection and car was collected in the time frame and a text message was sent when the driver was one hour away which was perfect for me as I had to travel. I would definitely recommend and would use this company again.
