DVLA certificate of destruction

Proof your car has been scrapped properly — sorted for you, at no extra cost.

What it is

A certificate of destruction (CoD) is the official DVLA record that your vehicle has been scrapped at an authorised treatment facility and can never legally return to the road.

Why it matters

Once the CoD is issued, the car is off your name. No more tax, no more insurance, and no fines or penalties for anything that happens to it afterwards.

We handle it for you

We notify the DVLA as soon as we collect, and your certificate of destruction follows by post or email — you don't need to fill anything in.
