Hello,

my girlfriends Micra is ready for the scrap yard. Unfortunately, she parked it on the drive and sorned it, so I'd need the works trade plates to shift it, not too much of an issue.

Anyway, Mr local scrap man knocks on the door asking to buy the car. Says he'll take it away etc

There's no way on earth I'm letting him take the car and V5 to 'scrap' it. I don't care how close around the corner he lives.

So, he's just Mr. Joe Bloggs and not an actual scrap man that could fill in the scrap/trade section of the V5.

Is my only option filling in the private sale section and effectively selling the car to him? Then we send the V5 and he gets the CoD etc?

i had something similar.

scrapped 2 306s, one was writeoff and one was a nailed 1.4 but still road legal. got 100 each

man told me hed sort out the legal crap......and he didnt. meaning i got letter saying whats going on with this vehicle from dvla.

so i asked on here and the advice was. send the dvla a letter saying you cut up the car and disposed of it responsibly at your local recyclers.

i did this and about a week later i got two letter of confirmation saying yeah sweet all is well cars have been listed as dead etc.

just let the scrap man have em if hes willing to take em for monies... would be worth possibly cutting a fair few wires in the loom, removing fuses and the battery etc....just so its too much of a mission if scrap man get ideas to get the micra back on the road......not sure why hed want to though.

Not on the new ones there isn't.

You can still allocate a new owner or scrappy who becomes liable after sold so let him pay you and take it.

As above the older style had a box you could tick. So then I'd ask for the whole V5 so I could just tick it and not be associated when I've finished with it. The new forms then became sent out on mass to replace the blue ones.

Often if I take just a shell to be weighed in they don't class it as a car so don't ask questions. With the new style I would send a covering letter to the DVLA saying it had been disposed of.

For cars in my name that I've weighed in, I've insisted on COD's (certificate of destruction) and the DVLA would write to confirm I'm no longer the registered keeper.

    Yep, as said no tick box for scrap only a breaker / insurer which requires business name and VAT number.

    So my only option is the new keeper section

    If the bloke is friendly with the centre and doesn't need the V5, let him take the car and you send the V5 off with the covering letter saying it's been disposed of.

    How long ago was it when you weighed those two 306's in? We took my grandads 205 to the scrapyard last year and he got £150Yes didn't you cut the cats off first and sell them to the scrap man separately?
