If you are planning to scrap your car, you may have come across the term Certificate of Destruction, often shortened to CoD. It sounds formal, and in many ways it is, because this document confirms that a vehicle has been officially scrapped through the correct channels.

A Certificate of Destruction is important because it provides evidence that your vehicle has been permanently removed from the road and processed by an Authorised Treatment Facility. It can help protect you from future responsibility for the vehicle and gives reassurance that the car has not simply been sold on, abandoned or handled illegally.

If you have a busy schedule and you don’t have time to squeeze in scrapping your car yourself, don’t worry!
