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.

Helpful and simple. Kept me informed throughout. The driver called on the day to double check pick up details. I found this very helpful. Had no problems. Highly recommended
Simple and straightforward to deal with. After a really horrible experience with other scrappage services, it was a relief to deal with someone who knew what they were doing and were honest. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Price obtained very easily on line. Once accepted I was contacted soon by phone and pick up arranged. On the collection day I was phoned again with an eta. Driver was on time and only needed a minute of my time. Payment arrived later that day. Can't fault it.
Booked online, got a call back, quick and easy, car pickup on the day and time they said, as soon as car was collected money straight in bank ,excellent
Very easy to use, and very helpful. Collection of the vehicle went smoothly and without any problems. The driver of the collection vehicle was very helpful.
The take back service was easy to use and quick to organise which took the stress out of the situation. Everyone involved was pleasant to deal with and made the job quick and easy.
Excellent service one phone call given price and arranged collection next day. Transport driver kept me updated on how far away he was. Money was deposited into my bank by close of business next day. Would recommend

Really simple process right through from getting the quote online, receiving a call to arrange collection and the collection itself. No haggling the amount and payment received the following business day as stated.
They were very clear at all times. They made a good offer all things considered. They kept to their original offer. They collected the vehicle promptly and paid promptly.
Simple process with precise accurate instructions culminating in a prompt well timed collection of the vehicle. The payment for the vehicle was surprisingly greater than expected. I will use this company again in the future.
Everything went smoothly and pick up driver was helpful and polite. My car battery died so he fetched the starting pack started it and drive it on to the transporter. Money came within days Jib done. Thankyiu
