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.

They organised the car to be picked up after offering what i thought was a good price. They were as good as their word and did everything as they said. Excellent service.
I was happy with the price offered and they quickly came to remove my vehicle. They were pleasant, well organised and readily agreed to transfer the funds via a Bank Transfer. Thank you
I've used them before. Easy to sort out when booking online the staff were friendly. Very efficient when picking up my car and best of all money in my bank in less than 2 hours of them taking it away.. Thanks

It was so easy, and they come & pick the car up which saves you any bother came on time and where so friendly all paperwork taken care off which saves so much bother, couldn't recommend enough..
Good experience, easy to use, good comminication throughout the process. They gave a fair price and collection was within days of acceptance. They contacted me with a time scale for collection and arrived within that time. Would recommend using them.
Excellent Price considering other offers I had, I was kept informed at all times about the timing of collection. The Gent on the pickup was polite and efficient. Cant fault the service I experienced
Always professional, punctual, quick, efficient and communication is brilliant and pay what they offer and quick. I always them whenever I’ve needed to, and I have recommended them to family and friends too.
