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.

The service was easy to arrange, the driver turned up as scheduled and was friendly and helpful with the paperwork, and the money was in my account within a couple of hours. I have already recommended them to my neighbour!
Great service, everything went exactly to plan. I was offered a fair price for my vehicle and the payment was made exactly as promised. I would highly recommend their services to anyone struggling to dispose of their vehicle.
Quick, efficient, hassle free. Only problem was the queuing system on the phone when trying to return their call. Having the contactless collection was brilliant, and payment was made the next day as explained.
Very easy 👌 Money in my bank account within 30 minutes. The driver explained everything I needed to know He also came within the time I was told. Everything went smoothly.
The form was easy to fill out. I was informed of everything that needed to be put down. The guy rang me an hour before collection and went through any paperwork. Overall I was very pleased with the service provided.
Great service Good price paid for my car plus the best bit is that once the car gets back to their depo the money was in my bank account by 5 pm the same day I would definitely recommend this company friendly staff from the reception to the pick up person
Seamless, quick and extremely easy to go through the process from start to finish. Best price i could find and I was paid in full by the end of the day after collection. Sad to see my old car go, happy to see the scrap value appear in my bank account!
Right from the get go Customer service was very Pleasant. Then when driver came to take the car he was Very polite and professional. I would highly Recommend these and in Addition best price was given so all in all 5 out of 5.
