In order to scrap your car, it must meet the End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive standards set by the European Union. You can find out more information about ELV here: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/initiatives/vehicles_en.htm. Your car will also have to pass a technical inspection and you will need to surrender the relevant documents, such as the registration papers and insurance certificate, to the DVLA.

You can find out more about your car's scrapping standard by consulting the manufacturer's website, looking online for information about car scrap yard standards, or speaking to local dealerships. Typically, cars must be at least eight years old and have less than 80% of their original value to qualify as a scrap vehicle. Additionally, the car must not have any outstanding finance or be subject to a manufacturer's recall to be considered for scrapping.
