How to scrap?

[SeanT]

I can't find the registration document for a car for which the sorn expires at the end of the month. I don't for my other scrapper either, which was sorned whilst I dismantled it on a farm, then the car was scrapped. I think this is because I sent both V5s off, with the broken up personally box ticked, as I can still find a bit of one of said V5s, but haven't received a confirmation letter for either - how can I be absolutely sure that these vehicles have been removed from the register and I don't get fined? Just write a letter and send it to swansea? Roughly what should said letter state (obviously I don't want to say that I can't remember whether I sent the V5s off but can't find them in the letter....)

i dont think you have much to worry about.
it will be to their benefit if you simply contact them & admit to mislaying the V5's or forgetting what you did with them.
write off stating that both cars have now been dismantled & if they do not have record of this, could they please send off the relevent forms so you can tie up the loose ends.
you are doing nothing wrong by checking you are complying with their rules

When you open the link up go to "vehicle enquiry" and then enter the reg number and make. I'm not 100% sure if it will tell you if the vehicle is laready shown as scrapped but it is worth a try.
