 UK Scrappage SchemeOver 370,000 cars have now been scrapped or will be scrapped soon under the scheme! (Limit = 4000000)Scrappage scheme time running out! The scheme was due to end on the 28th February but has been extended into March although each manufacturer only has a very limited allocation so please be very quick now!! What is scrappage? In exchange for having your old car or van scrapped you will receive at least £2000 discount of the normal list price of a brand new, first registered to you, car or van (3.5 tonnes limit on vans). The government contributes £1000 and the manufacturer contributes the other £1000. The supplying dealership must organise the whole scrappage side of things themselves.
Current Scrappage Criteria for Qualification: The vehicle you trade in: 1/ Must be a car or small van not exceeding 3.5 tonnes 2/ Must be registered in United Kingdom on or before 29th Feb 2000 for cars or 28th Feb 2002 for vans 3/ Must be registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) or Driver and Vehicle Agency in Northern Ireland (DVA) in your name 4/ Must have been registered to you continuously for 12 calendar months before the order date of the new vehicle (for bereavement transfers to spouse this is reduced to 6 months) 5/ Must have a UK address on the registration certificate (V5C) 6/ Must have a current MOT test certificate before the date of order for the new vehicle (or within 14 days of expiry at the time of order) 7/ Must have a current tax disc before the date of order for the new vehicle (or within 14 days of expiry at the time of order) 8/ Must be insured when the order for the new vehicle is placed The new vehicle you want to buy must be: 1/ a car or small van not exceeding 3.5 tonnes 2/ first registered in the UK on or after the 18 May 2009 3/ declared new at first registration in the UK with no former keepers 4/ a UK specification vehicle 5/ registered to the same registered keeper as the registered keeper of the eligible vehicle to be scrapped The above information is extracted from the government web site at www.berr.gov.uk How Do I Scrap The Car To Qualify? The supplying dealership will organise that for you at an official ATF scrapping centre or by using companies such as CarTakeBack (0845 257 3233) to collect your car. The new car must be ordered first and have actually arrived in stock at the dealership before your car is scrapped. Please remember to take 3 good photocopies of your V5 document showing all the details (usually page two), a copy of your insurance certificate,a copy of your MOT certificate and a copy of the tax disc before scrapping the car as these and the Certificate of Destruction will be required by the supplying dealership to obtain the scrappage discount.
