Frequently asked questions

We appreciate that scrapping a car isn’t something most people do very often – so we’ve answered some of our most frequently asked questions here.

Can I keep the stereo I’ve added to the car?

Yes, you can. We just ask that you replace the aftermarket stereo with the one that was originally in the car. Don’t worry if this isn’t possible – it might just mean a slightly lower price for your car.

How do I declare my car as being off the road?

You must make a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) through the DVLA website. If you do, you will be legally required to follow their official guidelines and make sure your car isn’t driven or stored on a public road.

Will you buy my scrap car in Cambridge without wheels?

Yes. All of the collection partners that we work with have the resources required to collect and handle a car that doesn’t have wheels.

I don’t want to lose my private registration when I scrap my car. What should I do?

Before you scrap your car, you should apply for a number plate retention through the DVLA. You can do this online or through the post. You’ll be able to transfer the registration to a different vehicle - or to an official Retention Document so you can use the number plate on a suitable car in the future.

I’ve seen the term ELV used on paperwork – what does it mean?

An ELV is an End of Life Vehicle. It’s the name that the government and DVLA give a car that can no longer be used on the road. End of life vehicles must be dismantled, depolluted and recycled at authorised vehicle scrap yards.

Can your car scrap dealers in Cambridge accept commercial vehicles?

Yes, they can. Almost all of our Cambridge scrap car dealers and collection partners can recover, scrap, salvage, and recycle vehicles of all shapes and sizes.
