Scrap a car without a V5 in Hampshire

Lost the V5C logbook? It's not a blocker. You can legally scrap a car in Hampshire without a V5 — we collect at your door, notify DVLA on your behalf, issue a Certificate of Destruction and pay you by instant bank transfer on the day. Bring photo ID and a proof of address and we'll handle the rest.

What you need instead of the V5

  • Photo ID — UK driving licence or passport (matching the registered keeper if possible).
  • Proof of address dated within the last 3 months — utility bill, bank statement or council tax letter.
  • The vehicle's registration number — we pull the make/model and DVLA record from that.
  • Keys, if you have them (not essential — non-runners without keys are still collected).

The 4-step no-V5 scrap process

  1. 1. Send us the registration and postcode. We quote a guaranteed price for your exact car.
  2. 2. We arrive with a recovery truck. Show us your photo ID and proof of address.
  3. 3. We pay you by instant bank transfer, then load the car.
  4. 4. We notify DVLA the same day. You get a Certificate of Destruction by email within 48 hours; DVLA posts written confirmation shortly after.
