In short, no! Your registration certificate (also known as the V5C or logbook) is not essential when you scrap a car. However, it helps if you can try to find it as it can make things easier. When you scrap your car if you don’t have your registration certificate, we may ask you to provide personal ID instead.
If you don’t have your logbook (V5C) you’ll still be able to follow the usual process for scrapping your car. We’ll find you the best scrap price even if you have lost your logbook. Plus, it doesn’t matter if your car is ready to be recycled, has plenty of miles left in it, or it has high mileage, is damaged, broken down, faulty or has no MOT – you can get a price to sell your car no matter what the condition.
The value of your scrap car can depend on many factors, including the global demand for scrap metal, as well as the make and model, age, weight, condition, and even the location of your car. Plus, whether there are any reusable parts on your vehicle. So, each scrap car price will vary.
