These changes will come into effect once formal agreement has been reached with the vehicle manufacturers. This website will be updated as soon as this has been achieved.

See below for information on the background and rules of the scheme.

Background

The Chancellor announced in the Budget on 22nd April 2009, a voluntary discount scheme under which motor dealers will give motorists 2,000 or more towards a new vehicle if they trade in a car or van over 10 years old for scrap.

The scheme is intended to provide a boost to demand and immediate support on a short-term basis to the car industry and its supply chain in the wake of falling sales. It will also get older vehicles off the road and encourage consumers to invest in new, safer and potentially more environmentally friendly models.

What is the scheme?

Government will provide a 1,000 incentive, with matched funding from vehicle manufacturers, for consumers to replace their 10 year old or older vehicle (8 years in the case of vans) with a brand new vehicle. The old vehicle must have been registered in the UK to the consumer for at least 12 months. The scheme currently applies to commercial vans (up to 3.5 tonnes) as well as cars that are T registration.

How long will the scheme operate?

The scheme was launched on 18 May 2009 and will last until end February 2010, or sooner if the government funding has been used. It was announced on 28th September that funding is to be increased and will be available to scrap up to 400,000 vehicles, with 400m provided by Government and matched by support from vehicle manufacturers.

How to take advantage of the Governments scrappage scheme?

Contact your local dealer to ask if they are operating the scrappage scheme. They will check that your vehicle and the new vehicle you want to buy both meet the rules of the scheme. When the sale is agreed, the dealer will sort out the paperwork and arrange for your vehicle to be scrapped.

The discount is deducted from the price you pay for the new vehicle and will be shown on your invoice when you take delivery of your new vehicle.
