Certified end-of-life vehicle destruction center
Why have your vehicle destroyed
What happens if you do nothing
An undestroyed vehicle stays in your name. Here's what that actually means.

It's the law

An end-of-life vehicle must go through a certified centre. Abandoning it or having it scrapped elsewhere means a fine.

It's still in your name

Until it's officially destroyed, you're liable: fines, parking tickets, potential damages. The certificate cuts all ties.

Pollutants to handle

Oils, fluids, battery, tyres: everything is removed and treated before crushing. It's the law, and we follow it.

No more expenses

No more insurance, no more MOT, no more road tax. Destruction puts a final end to all obligations on that vehicle.

Your questions
What we're asked about ELV destruction
Answers to the questions we hear most often.
A vehicle that's crashed, permanently broken down, or too old to pass its MOT. The law requires it to be destroyed by a certified centre. Not in a backstreet scrapyard, not abandoned in a field.
No. Pickup and destruction are completely free. And if your vehicle still has value, we pay you 30 to 100 € on the spot.
No. We collect within 24h and the certificate is issued the same day. National database cancellation takes a few more days but it's automatic.
The vehicle stays in your name. You remain liable: fines, parking tickets, damages. Abandoning it on a public road can cost up to 1,500 € in fines.
In principle, it's the registered keeper who requests destruction. But there are special cases: inheritance, abandoned vehicle. Call us, we'll work it out together.
