Check whether a vehicle is recorded as scrapped
A scrapped vehicle check looks for history fields indicating that a vehicle has been scrapped or that a certificate of destruction has been issued. It can also show an available scrapping date.
A positive marker is a serious warning. Do not pay a deposit or accept explanations without independently checking the vehicle identity, paperwork and source record.
What REGUP checks
- Scrapped status returned in the vehicle-history record
- Certificate-of-destruction indicator where supplied
- Date scrapped where available
- Registration, make, model and VIN details for comparison
REGUP distinguishes between No marker found and Not available. A clear result requires an explicit provider field. If the provider does not supply the relevant status, the page will not assume the vehicle is clear.
Why a scrapped marker matters
A certificate of destruction is associated with a vehicle being permanently removed and dismantled through the appropriate process. A vehicle presented for ordinary road use should not conflict with that history. A mismatch could indicate incorrect records, identity problems or a vehicle that needs specialist investigation.
Checks to make in person
Compare the VIN stamped on the vehicle with the V5C and report. Check the registration, make, model, colour and engine details. Ask the seller for provenance and never rely only on a photograph of paperwork. Consider contacting DVLA and obtaining professional advice if a marker appears.
This paid datapoint uses the existing licensed car-history dataset and does not make a separate physical inspection.

Scrapped Vehicle Check FAQs
What does a scrapped marker mean?
It means the supplied history data indicates scrapping, a certificate of destruction or an associated date. Treat it as a serious warning.
Does Not available mean the car is clear?
No. It means the provider did not supply enough information to reach a conclusive result.
What should I do if a marker is found?
Stop the purchase process, verify the VIN and paperwork, contact the relevant record holder and seek professional advice before proceeding.
Is this a physical vehicle inspection?
No. It is a database-history check. It should be combined with document, identity and mechanical inspections.
Do not ignore a scrapped marker
Check the registration before paying and investigate any marker or identity mismatch independently.
