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 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
Really good price for my scrap car, turned up on time, difficult place for recovery but sorted it out money in the bank two hours later good service 👍
Very straightforward from start to finish. Submitted form, car collected and money in bank all within 3 days. Max, who collected the car, was great and this helped make the experience painless.
Very easy and surprisingly fast to complete and arrange collection. Got clear updates through the process. Both the collection driver and person who phoned to arrange collection were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend 100%.
Easy process to follow, everything happened in the way that they said it would. Had the money in the bank within two hours of the car leaving on the back of the truck
After being let down by other companies this company gave me a call and arranged collection of my vehicle and was actually waiting for me! 10 out of 10 for my experience.
I was very pleased with the response from the phone call and the Car transporter drivers skill when removing a dead engine old car. Was most impressed and all done in half an hour.
Easy and quick valuation . Email with day and time to pick up.Driver bang on time and finalised checks and paperwork. Money in bank and hour after. Good experience start to end.
Everything from getting a quote online to collection was easy . And collected so quickly , kept updated with every step . I have used a few times and they are well worthy of 5 stars .
My recovery driver went above and beyond. Really helped with the situation with the car and another persons car in front. I couldn’t recommend him more. Brilliant man and service!
