End Of Life Vehicles (ELV)

Light Brothers are authorised by the DVLA and the Environment Agency in accordance with the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive (ELV) to recover, treat and recycle vehicles.

With two authorised treatment facilities we offer an effective solution to dealing with scrap cars, insurance write-offs, MOT failures and unwanted vehicles.

Scrap vehicle collection can be quickly arranged by us or deliver your old car directly to us.

Certificate of Destruction

A Certificate of Destruction (CoD) can be issued by Light Brothers to verify that a vehicle has been scrapped in a lawful and environmentally sound manner (Please note: that we only issue a CoD on request). Without proper de-registration the last owner could be fined under new laws on continuous registration.

If you do not receive a CoD within 10 days of disposing of your vehicle you should write to DVLA Swansea, SA99 1BD to notify them that you have disposed of your vehicle.
