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.

Professional from beginning to end. The man who collected the car helped me to fill in all the official papers and the money was in the bank that day. Thank you.
Simple and straight forward. Everything was done very professionally and they dealt with paperwork and DVLA. Money was in my account within 5 mins of car being loaded...10/10 Highly recommended.
I had no problem immediately obtaining a viable quote for my car . Once accepted an arranged pickup was agreed within 48hrs and the resulting collection was swift and the two staff members both friendly and polite. Payment was as agreed

Very easy sale and a good price. All done in a few days and on days and times as suggested. Polite staff including collecting driver so overall I would recommend them heartily.
So easy - filled out the info on the website, accepted their competitive offer and the car was collected at the agreed time with no fuss. Couldn’t have asked for any better.
Very quick and simple and got the price I was offered online, (which was a lot more than I was offered by a few local companies) no hassle at all and the money was in my account within an hour of the car being collected! Excellent service highly recommended!
